Network distance, measured as round-trip latency between hosts, is important for the performance of many Internet applications. For example, nearest server selection and proximity...
One view holds that organizations are virtual to the extent that they outsource key components of their production processes, and that electronic networks make it easier to do thi...

Increasing sizes of present-day distributed software systems call for coordination models which are both modular and scalable. Precise modelling of real-life applications further r...
Research has shown that decentralized networks and organizations perform better and have more satisfied members than centralized ones. Further, decentralized self-organizing netwo...
Internet coordinate schemes have been proposed as a method for estimating minimum round trip time between hosts without direct measurement. In such a scheme, each host is assigned...
