RPC is one of the programming models envisioned for the Grid. In Internet connected Large Scale Grids such as Desktop Grids, nodes and networks failures are not rare events. This ...
A large number of overlay multicast protocols have been developed, almost all of which assume universal connectivity between end hosts. However, in reality, this assumption is not...
This paper proposes the idea of emulating fat-trees in overlays for multi-source multicast applications. Fat-trees are like real trees in that their branches become thicker the clo...
iSCSI is one of the most recent standards that allows SCSI protocols to be carried out over IP networks. However, to encapsulate SCSI protocol over IP requires significant amount...
This paper presents a multicast approach to shared virtual worlds. A shared VRML world is described with integrated spatial audio in a freeware VRML browser. An implementation in ...
