Conventional OLTP systems assign each transaction to a worker thread and that thread accesses data, depending on what the transaction dictates. This thread-to-transaction work ass...
Efficient multi-dimensional data search has received much attention in centralized systems. However, its implementation in large-scale distributed systems is not a trivial job and...
In distributed scenarios the robustness of a reputation mechanism depends on the data available for computation. Especially in ad-hoc networks the amount of available data is rest...
The selection of a cost-minimizing combination of hardware and network components that satisfy organizational requirements is a complex design problem with multiple degrees of fre...
