Recently there has been renewed interest in building reliable servers that support continuous application operation. Besides maintaining system state consistent after a failure, o...
Shannon's Coding Theorem shows that in order to reliably transmit a message of T bits over a noisy communication channel, only a constant slowdown factor is necessary in the ...
To provide data consistency in the presence of failures and concurrency, database methods will continue to be important to the processing of shared information in a mobile computi...
CX, a network-based computational exchange, is presented. The system’s design integrates variations of ideas from other researchers, such as work stealing, non-blocking tasks, e...
Over the last 2-3 years, the importance of data-intensive computing has increasingly been recognized, closely coupled with the emergence and popularity of map-reduce for developin...
