There is an increasing need for new Web server architectures that are application-centric, simple, small, and pervasive in nature. In this paper, we present a novel architecture f...
The management of networks has often been ignored in network-based computing systems due to the difficulty of estimating application programs' network latency and bandwidth r...
It is important to identify scalability constraints in existing job scheduling software as they are applied to next generation parallel systems. In this paper, we analyze the scala...
