A basic problem in the management of web servers is capacity planning: you want enough capacity to be able to serve peak loads, but not too much so as to avoid excessive costs. It...
Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks represent an effective way to share information, since there are no central points of failure or bottleneck. However, the flip side to the distributive...
While there has been advances in observational equipment that generate huge high quality images, the processing of these images remains a major bottleneck. We show that provenance...

Distributed hash tables (DHTs) have been adopted as a building block for large-scale distributed systems. The upshot of this success is that their robust operation is even more imp...
Simulations of complex scientific phenomena involve the execution of massively parallel computer programs. These simulation programs generate large-scale multidimensional data set...
