Abstract. In a hybrid peer-to-peer environment, clients can either directly download data from their server, or share data with each other. In order to create incentives for client...
Peer-to-peer networks and grids offer promising paradigms for developing efficient distributed systems and applications. Event-based middleware is becoming a core architectural el...
In this paper, we focus on addressing the tradeoffs between timeliness, accuracy and cost for applications requiring real-time information collection in distributed real-time envi...
This paper describes an agent-based architecture that extends personal mobility to ubiquitous environment. A software agent, running on a portable device, leverages the existing se...
Replication in grid file systems can significantly improves I/O performance of data-intensive applications. However, most of existing replication techniques apply to individual ...
