Web services offer a number of valuable features towards supporting the development of open distributed systems, built out of the composition of autonomous services. Nonetheless, ...
In a system proposed by Plaxton, Rajaraman and Richa (PRR), the expected cost of accessing a replicated object was proved to be asymptotically optimal for a static set of nodes an...
In this paper, we propose using the network-attached disk (NAD) architecture to design highly scalable and cost-effective multimedia-on-demand (MOD) servers. In order to ensure en...
Network programming is notoriously hard to understand: one has to deal with a variety of protocols (IP, ICMP, UDP, TCP etc), concurrency, packet loss, host failure, timeouts, the c...
In previous years, various real-time scheduling techniques have been proposed to improve the performance of a distributed multimedia system. However, not much work has been done o...
