Distributed partially observable Markov decision problems (POMDPs) have emerged as a popular decision-theoretic approach for planning for multiagent teams, where it is imperative f...
Desktop grids combine Peer-to-Peer and Grid computing techniques to improve the robustness, reliability and scalability of job execution infrastructures. However, efficiently mat...

We present an algorithm for implementing byte-range locks using MPI passive-target one-sided communication. This algorithm is useful in any scenario in which multiple processes of ...
This paper presents a design and analysis of scheduling techniques to cope with the inherent unreliability and instability of worker nodes in large-scale donation-based distribute...

The idle computers on a local area, campus area, or even wide area network represent a significant computational resource--one that is, however, also unreliable, heterogeneous, an...
