Recently-developed techniques have improved the performance of production systems several times over. However, these techniques are not yet adequate for continuous problem solving...
The non-blocking work-stealing algorithm of Arora, Blumofe, and Plaxton (henceforth ABP work-stealing) is on its way to becoming the multiprocessor load balancing technology of ch...
Large-scale and dynamically changing distributed systems such as the Grid, peer-to-peer overlays, etc., need to collect several kinds of global statistics in a decentralized manne...
Abstract. Replication systems require a state-transfer mechanism in order to recover crashed replicas and to integrate new ones into replication groups. This paper presents and eva...
—It is investigated to what extent the trajectories of a stochastically switched (blinking) system follow the corresponding trajectories of the averaged system. Four cases have t...
