Service-orientation enables cooperation between multiple organizations and has become a solution of choice to tackle the complexity of ubiquitous computing. The very nature of ubi...
Solving optimally large instances of combinatorial optimization problems requires a huge amount of computational resources. In this paper, we propose an adaptation of the parallel...
Communication delay is a key source of uncertainty in distributed systems. Existing approaches to reduce this uncertainty focus on maintaining sufficient surplus bandwidth; appli...
—The functional heterogeneity of non-dedicated computational grids will increase with the inclusion of resources from desktop grids, P2P systems, and even mobile grids. Machine f...
A self-stabilizing distributed system is a faulttolerant distributed system that tolerates any kind and any finite number of transient faults, such as message loss and memory cor...
