Current processor allocation techniques for highly parallel systems are based on centralized front-end based algorithms. As a result, the applied strategies are restricted to stat...
This paper presents a solution to the (processor) group membership problem. The methodology followed in designing the algorithm is summarized by the option to optimize the perform...
Grid technology has been widely used for large-scale computational problems, but it also provides a framework for running a big number of smallsized processes. Moreover, these proc...
The popularity of distributed file systems continues to grow in last years. The reasons they are preferred over traditional centralized systems include fault tolerance, availabili...
Consider a set of players that are interested in collectively evaluating a set of objects. We develop a collaborative scoring protocol in which each player evaluates a subset of t...
