Using off-the-shelf commodity workstations and PCs to build a cluster for parallel computing has become a common practice. A choice of a cost-effective cluster computing platform ...
This paper describes an architecture that provides support for quality of service (QoS) specification and enforcement in heterogeneous distributed computing systems. The Quartz Qo...
The design of large-scale, distributed, performance-sensitive systems presents numerous challenges due to their networkcentric nature and stringent quality of service (QoS) requir...
If we expect the computer to vanish in the background, to make pervasive computing a reality, first we must be able to provide the illusion that all the user’s computers, devic...
