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...
— The increasing need of protocol development environments and network performance evaluation tools gives rise to the research of flexible, scalable, and accurate network emulato...
Adaptive query processing in large distributed systems has seen increasing importance due to the rising environmental fluctuations in a growing Internet. We describe Ginga, an ad...
In real environments it is often difficult to obtain a collection of cases for the case base that would cover all the problem solving situations. Although it is often somewhat eas...
In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
