In network protocol research a common goal is optimal bandwidth utilization, while still being network friendly. The drawback of TCP in networks with large bandwidth-delay product...
Increasing popularity of XML and P2P networks has generated much interest in distributed processing of XML data. We propose a novel solution organized around a mediator capable of...
The Grid provides infrastructure that allows an arbitrary application to be executed on a range of different computational resources. When input files are very large, or when faul...
To make optimal use of distributed virtual environments (DVEs), we must understand and quantify the effects that latency has on user performance. Although the effects of visual la...
In this paper we use game theory to study nodes’ behavior in peer-to-peer networks when nodes receive service based on their reputation. Reputation is used as a mechanism to inc...
