In cluster-based storage systems, the metadata server cluster must be able to adaptively distribute responsibility for metadata to maintain high system performance and long-term l...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks based on consistent hashing functions have an inherent load uneven distribution problem. Things are even worse in unstructured P2P systems. The objecti...
The structured peer-to-peer system, which is based on the distributed hash table, offers an administration-free and fault-tolerant application-level overlay network. However, a ra...
- Load balancing is a crucial issue in parallel and distributed systems to ensure fast processing and optimum utilization of computing resources. Load balancing strategies try to e...
In this paper we present a game theoretic framework for obtaining a user-optimal load balancing scheme in heterogeneous distributed systems. We formulate the static load balancing...
