In this paper, we investigate the suitability of embedding Internet hosts into a Euclidean space given their pairwise distances (as measured by round-trip time). Using the classic...
1 Data distribution and replication in distributed systems require special purpose middleware tools for accessing replicated data. Data Grids, special forms of a systems distribute...
Abstract. The emergence of handheld devices associated with wireless technologies has introduced new challenges for middleware. First, mobility is becoming a key characteristic; mo...
Replicated services accessed via quorums enable each access to be performed at only a subset (quorum) of the servers and achieve consistency across accesses by requiring any two qu...
Distributed hash table (DHT) systems are an important class of peer-to-peer routing infrastructures. They enable scalable wide-area storage and retrieval of information, and will ...
