Distributed Computing, the exploitation of idle cycles on pervasive desktop PC systems offers the opportunity to increase the available computing power by orders of magnitude (10x...
Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on the other hand, is a shared collaborative environment constructed on v...
As application semantics becomes more complex and dynamic in IT systems, it is necessary to engineer the application semantics in its own lifecycle of development parallel to syste...
As the scale of cluster computing grows, it is becoming hard for long-running applications to complete without facing failures on large-scale clusters. To address this issue, chec...
