Fully distributed storage systems have gained popularity in the past few years because of their ability to use cheap commodity hardware and their high scalability. While there are...
Distributed Hash Tables (DHT) with order-preserving hash functions require load balancing to ensure an even item-load over all nodes. While previous item-balancing algorithms only...
In high energy physics, bioinformatics, and other disciplines, we encounter applications involving numerous, loosely coupled jobs that both access and generate large data sets. So...
In recent years, a lot of research effort has been dedicated to the management of Quality of Service (QoS), mainly in the fields of telecommunication networks and multimedia syste...
Abstract. In this paper we investigate methods for analyzing the expected value of adding information in distributed task scheduling problems. As scheduling problems are NP-complet...
