Toprogrammassivelyconcurrent MIMDmachines, programmersneed tools for managingcomplexity. One important tool that has been used in the sequential programmingworld is hierarchies of...
Robotic storage devices offer huge storage capacity at a low cost per byte, but with large access times. Integrating these devices into the storage hierarchy presents a challenge ...
Efficient and robust metacomputing requires the decomposition of complex jobs into tasks that must be scheduled on distributed processing nodes. There are various ways of creating...
Optimistic distributed systems often rely on version vectors or their variants in order to track updates on replicated objects. Some of these mechanisms rely on some form of global...
Abstract--This paper considers the problem of scalable distributed coding of correlated sources that are communicated to a central unit, a setting typically encountered in sensor n...
