: Networks and distributed computing systems are becoming increasingly important and at the same time, more and more critical to the world of Information Technology. This rash spre...
— Over the years, the use of global grid environments have become widespread. In order to make applications robust against the dynamics of those grid environments it is essential...
To share resources in open distributed systems we have developed autonomous mobile programs, which periodically use a cost model to decide where to execute in a network. In additi...
