In this paper we review the history of systems for managing “Big Data” as well as today’s activities and architectures from the (perhaps biased) perspective of three “data...
Advances in network technology continue to improve the communication performance of workstation and PC clusters, making high-performance workstation-clustercomputing increasingly ...
Computation off-loading, i.e., remote execution, has been shown to be effective for extending the computational power and battery life of resource-restricted devices, e.g., hand-h...
Interest has been growing in powering data centers (at least partially) with renewable or “green” sources of energy, such as solar or wind. However, it is challenging to use t...
A major challenge faced in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) is locating devices for communication, especially in the case of high node mobility and sparse node density. Present solu...
