In this paper we examine the problem of balancing load in a large-scale distributed system when information about server loads may be stale. It is well known that sending each req...
Unstructured overlay networks for peer-to-peer applications combined with stochastic algorithms for clustering and resource location are attractive due to low-maintenance costs and...
Accessing data from numerous widely-distributed sources poses signi cant new challenges for query optimization and execution. Congestion and failures in the network can introduce ...

Supercomputers are prone to frequent faults that adversely affect their performance, reliability and functionality. System logs collected on these systems are a valuable resource o...
Abstract. Powerful grid and cluster computers allow efficient distributed simulation. Optimistic simulation techniques have been developed which allow for more parallelism in the l...
