The widespread use of mobile and wireless computing platforms is leading to a growing interest on dependability issues. Several research studies have been conducted on dependabili...
We introduce a formal model for deployment and hosting of a dynamic grid service wherein the service provider must pay a resource provider for the use of computational resources. ...
Desktop grid (DG) systems use the idle computing power of many volunteered desktop PC’s on the Internet to support large-scale computation and storage. For over a decade, DG sys...
Wide-area distributed systems like computational grids are emergent infrastructures for high-performance parallel applications. On these systems, communication mechanisms have to ...
The dramatic improvements in the processing rates of parallel computers are turning many compute-bound jobs into IO-bound jobs. Parallel le systems have been proposed to better ma...
