Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) with order-preserving hash functions require load balancing to ensure an even item-load over all nodes. While previous item-balancing algorithms only...
This paper describes SKIMA, a mediation system that gives transparent access to heterogeneous and distributed sources considering their semantics and the semantics of application ...
Ontologic knowledge is getting more and more important in agent-based systems, and its handling is becoming crucial for successful applications. But placing all the ontologyhandli...
Distributed computation systems have become an important tool for scientific simulation, and a similarly distributed replica management system may be employed to increase the loc...
With the growing use of distributed information networks, there is an increasing need for algorithmic and system solutions for data-driven knowledge acquisition using distributed,...
