Many large-scale distributed systems have been built with great complexity to run Internet services. Due to the heterogeneity and dynamics of complex systems, it is very difficult ...
—A fundamental challenge of managing mutable data replication in a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) system is how to efficiently maintain consistency under various sharing patterns with heter...
In this paper, we present a practical experiment of building a service-oriented system upon current web services technologies and bioinformatics middleware. The system allows scie...
