This paper proposes an optimization technique for spotchecking to minimize the computation time of volunteer computing (VC) systems with malicious participants who return erroneou...
In a variety of applications, ranging from data integration to distributed query evaluation, there is a need to obtain sets of data items from several sources (peers) and compute ...
Computational grids hold great promise in utilizing geographically separated heterogeneous resources to solve large-scale complex scientific problems. However, a number of major ...
In this paper, we address the new problem of protecting volunteer computing systems from malicious volunteers who submit erroneous results by presenting sabotagetolerance mechanis...
