In the dynamic load balancing problem, we seek to keep the job load roughly evenly distributed among the processors of a given network. The arrival and departure of jobs is modeled...
— Numerous proposals exist for load balancing in peer-to-peer (p2p) networks. Some focus on namespace balancing, making the distance between nodes as uniform as possible. This te...
