In parallel computing environments such as HPC clusters and the Grid, data-intensive applications involve large overhead costs due to a concentration of access to the files on co...
Abstract. Clusters of loosely connected machines are becoming an important model for commercial computing. The cost/performance ratio makes these scale-out solutions an attractive ...

In this work we study preference systems suitable for the Peer-to-Peer paradigm. Most of them fall in one of the three following categories: global, symmetric and complementary. Al...
The continuous increase of computational power has made viable the implementation of more and more sophisticated virtualization techniques. The use of virtualization in cluster env...
