- Many peer-to-peer file sharing systems have been proposed to take the locality and heterogeneity into account. The two-layered architecture is one of the most widespread systems ...
In this paper, we present an efficient procedure for building a piecewise linear function approximation of the speed function of a processor with hierarchical memory structure. Th...
Volunteer Computing (VC) is a paradigm that takes advantage of idle cycles from computing resources donated by volunteers and connected through the Internet to compute large-scale...
Design-time decisions can often only cover certain scenarios and fail in efficiency when hard-to-predict system scenarios occur. This drives the development of run-time adaptive s...
The global information service in the Internet is a heterogeneous and rapidly evolving environment. Constantly, new information services are added, others are modified, removed or...
