The diversity of computers and networks within a distributed system makes these systems highly heterogeneous. System heterogeneity complicates the design of static applications tha...
Replication is an area of interest to both distributed systems and databases. The solutions developed from these two perspectives are conceptually similar but differ in many aspec...
Parallel and distributed simulations enable the analysis of complex systems by concurrently exploiting the aggregate computation power and memory of clusters of execution units. I...
Rational and selfish nodes in P2P systems usually lack effective incentives to cooperate, contributing to the increase of free-riders, and degrading the system performance. Variou...
Single system image(SSI) systems have been the mainstay of high-performance computing for many years. SSI requires the integration and aggregation of all types of resources in a c...
