We analyze the structure and evolution of discussion cascades in four popular websites: Slashdot, Barrapunto, Meneame and Wikipedia. Despite the big heterogeneities between these ...
We understand distributed systems as a collection of distributed computation resources that work together as one harmonious system. It is the great achievement of computer network...
Motivated by applications to sensor, peer-to-peer, and adhoc networks, we study the problem of computing functions of values at the nodes in a network in a totally distributed man...
: This is a position paper introducing blob computing: A Blob is a generic primitive used to structure a uniform computing substrate into an easier-to-program parallel virtual mach...
Abstract. We propose and discuss foundations for programmable overlay networks and overlay computing systems. Such overlays are built over a large number of distributed computation...
