In large-scale clusters and computational grids, component failures become norms instead of exceptions. Failure occurrence as well as its impact on system performance and operatio...
We describe the design and features of our Grid Computing Environments Shell system, or GCEShell. We view computing Grids as providing essentially a globally scalable distributed ...
In most distributed systems, naming of nodes for low-level communication leveragestopologicallocation(such as node addresses) and is independentof any application. In this paper, ...

Group communications are commonly used in parallel and distributed environment. However, existing migration mechanisms do not support group communications. This weakness prevents ...
In emerging Web2.0 applications such as virtual worlds or social networking websites, the number of users is very important (tens of thousands), hence the amount of data to manage...
