Abstract— High-speed wireless communication technology (e.g. WiMAX) makes it feasible and cost-effective to build wireless back-hauls for Internet access. Compared to wired count...
In this paper we examine the problem of balancing load in a large-scale distributed system when information about server loads may be stale. It is well known that sending each req...
Data grids deal with a huge amount of data regularly. It is a fundamental challenge to ensure efficient accesses to such widely distributed data sets. Creating replicas to a suita...
In Cooperative Automatic Repeat reQuest (C-ARQ) protocols, one or more nodes can act as relays, collaborating in the frame retransmission process between a sender and a destination...
Communication of large data volumes is a core functionality of distributed systems middleware, namely, for interconnecting components, for distributed computation and for fault tol...
