Abstract— This paper is concerned with the distributed averaging problem over a given undirected graph. To enable every vertex to compute the average of the initial numbers sitti...
Many real–world networks show a scale–free degree distribution, a structure that is known to be very stable in case of random failures. Unfortunately, the very same structure ...
The Common Object Request Broker Architecture standardizes a platform- and programming-language-independent distributed object computing environment. It also provides a standard fo...
Over the last few years, more and more heuristic decision making techniques have been inspired by nature, e.g. evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimisation and simulated annea...
Cloud computing systems fundamentally provide access to large pools of data and computational resources through a variety of interfaces similar in spirit to existing grid and HPC ...
