— Estimation of network proximity among nodes is an important building block in several applications like service selection and composition, multicast tree formation, and overlay...
Availability and performance can be improved using data replication as the basic technique, thus benefitting the services provided by a distributed system. However, replication im...
Abstract. Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing is currently attracting enormous attention. In P2P systems a very large number of autonomous computing nodes (the peers) pool together their ...
Because of their severe resource-restrictions and limited user interfaces, smart everyday objects must often rely on remote resources to realize their services. This paper shows ho...
Data grids, large scale web applications generating dynamic content and database service providing pose significant scalability challenges to database engines. Replication is the ...
