In open multi-agent systems agents need resources provided by other agents but they are not aware of which agents provide the particular resources. Most solutions to this problem ...
We develop an algorithm for parallel disk sorting, whose I/O cost approaches the lower bound and that guarantees almost perfect overlap between I/O and computation. Previous algor...
Indexes for large collections are often divided into shards that are distributed across multiple computers and searched in parallel to provide rapid interactive search. Typically,...
Partitioned Optical Passive Stars (POPS) network has been presented recently as a desirable model of parallel computation. Several papers have been published that address fundamen...
The simplicity and robustness of unstructured P2P system make it a preferable architecture for constructing real large scale file sharing system. Most of the existing paradigms re...
