We observe increasing interest in aggregating geographically distributed, heterogeneous resources to perform large scale computations. MPI remains the most popular programming par...
: A general purpose group communication protocol suite called Newtop is described. It is assumed that processes can simultaneously belong to many groups, group size could be large,...
While extensive studies have been carried out in the past several years for many sensor applications, they cannot be applied to the network with extremely low and intermittent con...
Executing parallel applications across distributed networks introduces the problem of fault tolerance. A viable solution for fault tolerance must keep overhead manageable and not c...
It has recently been shown that fair exchange, a security problem in distributed systems, can be reduced to a fault tolerance problem, namely a special form of distributed consensu...
