To improve data availability and resilience MapReduce frameworks use file systems that replicate data uniformly. However, analysis of job logs from a large production cluster show...
Interprocess communication (IPC) is an important phenomenon in distributed computing and operating systems. Microkernels of modern operating systems use synchronous IPC semantics f...
—Large scale production grids are a major case for autonomic computing. Following the classical definition of Kephart, an autonomic computing system should optimize its own beha...
This paper addresses the problem of fine-grained data replication in large distributed systems, such as the Internet, so as to minimize the user access delays. With fine-grained d...
Aggregation refers to a set of functions that provide global information about a distributed system. These functions operate on numeric values distributed over the system and can ...
