Three protocols for gossip-based failure detection services in large-scale heterogeneous clusters are analyzed and compared. The basic gossip protocol provides a means by which fai...
: Several solutions have been developed to provide dataintensive applications with the highest possible data rates. Such solutions tried to utilize the available network resources ...
We evaluate the impact of a gigabit network on the implementation of a distributed chemical process optimization application. The optimization problem is formulated as a stochasti...
Abstract--Recent technological advances have motivated largescale deployment of RFID systems. RFID readers are often static and carefully deployed in a planned manner. However, the...
