The current trend towards dynamic and highly scalable service provisioning fosters the rise of Software as a Service (SaaS) platforms and so called Compute Clouds. The on-demand p...
—Efficient management of massive data sets is a key aspect in typical grid and e-science applications. To this end, the benefits of employing database technologies in such appl...
In this paper, we propose a novel method for fast nearest neighbors retrieval in non-Euclidean and non-metric spaces. We organize the data into a hierarchical fashion that preserv...
Abstract—Several popular simulation and emulation environments fail to account for realistic packet forwarding behaviors of commercial switches and routers. Such simulation or em...
Many large scale systems, like grids and structured peer to peer systems, operate on a constrained topology. Since underlying networks do not expose the real topology to the appli...
