Electronic markets, distributed peer-to-peer applications and other forms of online collaboration are all based on mutual trust, which enables transacting peers to overcome the un...
Clusters are mostly used through Resources Management Systems (RMS) with a static allocation of resources for a bounded amount of time. Those approaches are known to be insufficie...
Energy constrained systems such as sensor networks can increase their usable lifetimes by extracting energy from their environment. However, environmental energy will typically no...
