This paper proposes an optimization technique for spotchecking to minimize the computation time of volunteer computing (VC) systems with malicious participants who return erroneou...
In Marc Weiser’s vision of ubiquitous computing, users are located in an environment with potentially thousands of computers around them. Many capabilities of these smart device...
Research has shown that computers are notoriously bad at supporting the management of parallel activities and interruptions, and that mobility increases the severity and scope of ...

In computational grids, heterogeneous resources with different ownerships are dynamically available and distributed geographically. It is not realistic to build the resource alloc...
New technologies have recently emerged to challenge the very nature of computing: multicore processors, virtualized operating systems and networks, and data-center clouds. One can...
