Load balance is critical to achieving scalability for large network emulation studies, which are of compelling interest for emerging Grid, Peer to Peer, and other distributed appl...
A Replica Location Service (RLS) allows registration and discovery of data replicas. In earlier work, we proposed an RLS framework and described the performance and scalability of...
Abstract. Distributed Virtual Environment systems have experienced a spectacular growth last years. One of the key issues in the design of scalable and costeffective DVE systems is...
Many applications inherently disclose information because perfect privacy protection is prohibitively expensive. RFID tags, for example, cannot be equipped with the cryptographic p...
In an open distributed system, computational resources are peer-owned, and distributed over time and space. The fact that these resources can dynamically join or leave the system (...
