Abstract—Performance and power issues are becoming increasingly important in the design of large cluster based multitier data centers for supporting a multitude of services. Desi...
— It is well-understood that increasing redundancy in a system generally improves the availability and dependability of the system. In server clusters, one important form of redu...
We develop an adaptive load distribution protocol for logical volume I/O workload in clustered storage systems. It exploits data redundancy among decentralized storage servers to ...
Designers of distributed systems often rely on replicas for increased robustness, scalability, and performance. Replicated server architectures require some technique to select a ...
Global public computing platforms, such as PlanetLab, grid computing systems, and XenoServers, require facilities for managing trust to allow their participants to interact effect...
