In this paper, we take an availability-centric view on quality of service (QoS) and propose a model and mechanisms for studying the effectiveness of realistic replication schemes ...
Abstract. As grid sizes increase, the need for self-organization and dynamic reconfigurations is becoming more and more important, and therefore the convergence of grid computing ...
Abstract. Current solutions for fault-tolerance in HPC systems focus on dealing with the result of a failure. However, most are unable to handle runtime system configuration change...
For many remote sensing application projects, the quality of the research or the product is heavily dependent upon the quantity of computing cycles available. Middleware is softwar...
Peer-to-peer systems provide the opportunity to pool large amounts of distributed resources to enable internetscale applications. However, the participant nodes are highly dynamic...
