This paper addresses the problem of selection and discovery of a consistent availability monitoring overlay for computer hosts in a large-scale distributed application, where host...
We study efficient query processing in distributed web search engines with global index organization. The main performance bottleneck in this case is due to the large amount of i...
In spatial graphs with a vast number of nodes, it is difficult to compute a solution to graph optimisation problems. We propose an approach using meta-level agents for multi-agents...
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are composed of a set of communicating devices which are able to spontaneously interconnect without any pre-existing infrastructure. In such scenar...
This paper addresses the problem of fine-grained data replication in large distributed systems, such as the Internet, so as to minimize the user access delays. With fine-grained d...
