The Internet and the Grid are changing the face of high performance computing. Rather than tightly-coupled SPMD-style components running in a single cluster, on a parallel machine...
Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated distributed systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on another hand, is a shared collaborative environment constr...
— Estimation of network proximity among nodes is an important building block in several applications like service selection and composition, multicast tree formation, and overlay...
The emergence of applications operating independently of direct human control is inevitable. Research on high-level models for this class of applications— e.g. on autonomous age...
GLS is a new distributed location service which tracks mobile node locations. GLS combined with geographic forwarding allows the construction of ad hoc mobile networks that scale ...
