To function in mobile computing environments, distributed file systems must cope with networks that are slow, intermittent, or both. Intermittence vitiates the effectiveness of ca...
The lazy caching algorithm of Afek, Brown, and Merrit (1993) is a protocol that allows the use of local caches with delayed updates. It results in a memory model that is not atomi...
The World Wide Web can be considered as a large distributed information system that provides access to shared data objects. As one of the most popular applications currently runni...
We consider a cluster architecture in which dynamic content is generated by a database back-end and a collection of Web and application server front-ends. We study the effect of t...
Algorithms for the sparse matrix-vector multiplication (shortly SpM×V ) are important building blocks in solvers of sparse systems of linear equations. Due to matrix sparsity, the...
