Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
This paper focuses on the problem of scheduling outages to computer systems in complex distributed environments. The interconnected nature of these systems makes scheduling global ...
In this paper, we take the idea of application-level processing on disks to one level further, and focus on an architecture, called Cluster of Active Disks (CAD), where the storag...
Adapting to the network is the key to achieving high performance for communication-intensive applications, including scientific computing, data intensive computing, and multicast...
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are currently used in a variety of applications. File sharing applications and ad hoc networking have fueled the usage of these systems. P2P systems gen...
