We define some interesting incentive issues that arise in the management of virtual infrastructures. We demonstrate that participants’ decisions about the quantities of infrast...
We present solutions to statically load-balance scatter operations in parallel codes run on Grids. Our loadbalancing strategy is based on the modification of the data distributio...
Group communication has become an important component in wireless networks. In this paper, we focus on the environments in which multiple groups coexist in the system, and both in...
Effective data placement strategies can enhance the performance of data-intensive applications implemented on high end computing clusters. Such strategies can have a significant i...
Many computer hardware and software architectures buffer data in memory to improve system performance. Volatile disk or file caches are sometimes used to delay the propagation of ...
