We introduce FTRepMI, a simple fault-tolerant protocol for providing sequential consistency amongst replicated objects in a grid, without using any centralized components. FTRepMI ...
Flooding is a fundamental building block of unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) systems. In this paper, we investigate techniques to improve the performance of flooding. In particular...
In petabyte-scale distributed file systems that decouple read and write from metadata operations, behavior of the metadata server cluster will be critical to overall system perfo...

Abstract. The newscast model is a general approach for communication in large agent-based distributed systems. The two basic services— membership management and information disse...
—We present solutions to two problems that prevent the effective use of population-based algorithms in clustering problems. The first solution presents a new representation for ...
