Peer-to-peer systems have emerged as a popular way to share huge volumes of data. The usability of these systems depends on effective techniques to find and retrieve data; howeve...
Grid systems integrate distributed resources to form self-organization and self-management autonomies. Recently, for large-scale computation requirement, the collaboration of diffe...
This paper presents an investigation into local mechanisms and scheduling policies that allow guest processes to efficiently exploit otherwise-idle workstation resources. Unlike t...
