Abstract. The rapid advances in the computer industry allow building larger systems that require mass storage volumes. As storage space increases, its management becomes increasing...
The interesting properties of P2P systems (high availability despite peer volatility, support for heterogeneous architectures, high scalability, etc.) make them attractive for dist...
From the 1990s on, one of the most important challenges facing computer science researchers has been the design and construction of software tools to exploit Internet computing. A...
In most of the existing approaches to the design of multiagent systems, there is no clear way in which to relate organisational and normative structures to the model of the enviro...
Although the diversity of platforms for network experimentation is a boon to the development of protocols and distributed systems, it is challenging to exploit its benefits. Impl...
