This paper presents a new QoS guarantee scheme called R-(m,k)-firm (Relaxed-(m,k)-firm) which provides the guarantee on transmission delay of at least m out of any k consecutive p...
GridFTP has been used as a data transfer protocol to effectively transfer a large volume of data in Grid computing. GridFTP supports a feature called parallel data transfer that i...
This paper describes a virtual networking approach for Grids called ViNe. It enables symmetric connectivity among Grid resources and allows existing applications to run unmodified...
An efficient addressing scheme is necessary for auto-configuration and seamless communication in pervasive computing environments. In this paper, we propose an efficient and simple...
Large-scale and dynamically changing distributed systems such as the Grid, peer-to-peer overlays, etc., need to collect several kinds of global statistics in a decentralized manne...
