An important problem in the ®eld of distributed systems is that of detecting the termination of a distributed computation. Distributed termination detection (DTD) is a dicult p...
Abstract--The Grid is an heterogeneous and dynamic environment which enables distributed computation. This makes it a technology prone to failures. Some related work uses replicati...
Dining philosophers is a classic scheduling problem for local mutual exclusion on arbitrary conflict graphs. We establish necessary conditions to solve wait-free dining under even...
Modern scientific experiments can generate large amounts of data, which may be replicated and distributed across multiple resources to improve application performance and fault to...
Existing techniques for keyword/attribute search in structured P2P overlays suffer from several problems: unbalanced load, hot spots, fault tolerance, storage redundancy, and unab...
