In this paper, we illustrate a model-based approach to Web server performance evaluation, and present an analytic queueing model of Web servers in distributed environments. Perfor...
We present a simulation model used to evaluate a distributed search engine by modelling its performance. The model is designed to aid performance-driven evolution of the system. W...

stractions underlying distributed computing. We attempted to keep our preaims at an abstract and general level. In this column, we make those claims more concrete. More precisely, ...
We understand distributed systems as a collection of distributed computation resources that work together as one harmonious system. It is the great achievement of computer network...
Large scientific collaborations are moving towards service oriented architectures for implementation and deployment of globally distributed systems. Clarens is a high performance,...
