Many existing peer-to-peer content distribution networks (CDNs) such as Na Kika, CoralCDN, and CoDeeN are deployed on PlanetLab, a relatively trusted environment. But scaling them...
As the scale of cluster computing grows, it is becoming hard for long-running applications to complete without facing failures on large-scale clusters. To address this issue, chec...
Recent evidence suggests that some characteristics of computer and telecommunications systems may be well described using heavy tailed distributions — distributions whose tail d...
