We propose a general framework to index very large datasets of spatial data in a distributed system. Our proposal is built on the recently proposed Scalable Distributed Rtree (SD-...
In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
We consider how to efficiently allocate computing resources in order to infer the best of a finite set of simulated systems, where best means that the system has the maximal expec...
As a consequence of the current trend towards consolidating computing, storage and networking infrastructures into large centralized data centers, applications compete for shared ...

Resource allocation is a key problem in autonomic computing. In this paper we use a data center scenario to motivate the need for decentralization and cooperative negotiation, and...
