The POEMS project is creating an environment for end-to-end performance modeling of complex parallel and distributed systems, spanning the domains of application software, runti...
Biological systems have inherent mechanisms which ensure their adaptation and thus survival — preservation of functionality, despite extreme and varying environments. One such e...
—Superpeer architectures exploit the heterogeneity of nodes in a peer-to-peer (P2P) network by assigning additional responsibilities to higher capacity nodes. In the design of a ...
