In this paper a novel job allocation scheme in distributed systems (TAG) is modelled using the Markovian process algebra PEPA. This scheme requires no prior knowledge of job size ...
Routing topologies for distributed hashing in peer-to-peer networks are classified into two categories: deterministic and randomized. A general technique for constructing determi...
Abstract-- The need for efficient computation of approximate global state lies at the heart of a wide range of problems in distributed systems. Examples include routing in the Inte...
We present a framework for approximating random-walk based probability distributions over Web pages using graph aggregation. We (1) partition the Web's graph into classes of ...

We define the robustness of a sequential plan as the probability that it will execute successfully despite uncertainty in the execution environment. We consider a rich notion of u...
