Recent advances in commodity network interface technology enable scientists and engineers to build clusters of workstations or PCs to execute parallel applications. However, raw-h...
Quorums are a basic construct in solving many fundamental distributed computing problems. One of the known ways of making quorums scalable and efficient is by weakening their int...
This paper studies the problem of realizing a common software clock among a large set of nodes without an external time reference (i.e., internal clock synchronization), any centr...
The successful deployment of next-generation distributed multimedia systems is signi cantly dependent on the e cient management support that improves the performance and the relia...
Distributed Shortest-Positioning Time First (D-SPTF) is a request distribution protocol for decentralized systems of storage servers. D-SPTF exploits high-speed interconnects to d...
