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...
Abstract. In this note a general approach to designing distributed systems based on coupling existing software tools is presented and illustrated by two examples. Utilization of th...
There are two popular parallel programming paradigms available to high performance computing users such as engineering and physics professionals: message passing and distributed s...

The clustering algorithm DBSCAN relies on a density-based notion of clusters and is designed to discover clusters of arbitrary shape as well as to distinguish noise. In this paper,...
Expressed sequence tags, abbreviated ESTs, are DNA fragments experimentally derived from expressed portions of genes. Clustering of ESTs is essential for gene recognition and unde...
