Abstract. Is it possible to treat large scale distributed systems as physical systems? The importance of that question stems from the fact that the behavior of many P2P systems is ...
—Opportunistic scheduling in random beamforming maximizes the sum-rate by allocating resources to the users with the best channel condition, thus leveraging on multiuser diversit...
Peer to peer (P2P) systems are moving from application specific architectures to a generic service oriented design philosophy. This raises interesting problems in connection with...
In open multi-agent systems agents need resources provided by other agents but they are not aware of which agents provide the particular resources. Most solutions to this problem ...
This paper presents RDSS, a Resource Area Network (RAN)-based Distributed Storage System, which is designed for high scalability, long-term reliability, and operational efficiency...
