Resource management is an important infrastructure in the grid computing environment. Scalability and adaptability are two key challenges in the implementation of such complex sof...
In this paper, we revisit the master-slave tasking paradigm in the context of heterogeneous processors. We assume that communications take place in exclusive mode. We present a po...
The notion of service enjoys increasing popularity as a means for structuring complex distributed systems. Most definitions of the term service, however, refer only to syntactic l...
Previous multicast research often makes commonly accepted but unverified assumptions on network topologies and group member distribution in simulation studies. In this paper, we p...
- Multi-agent systems (MASs) have become an important topic in distributed systems research. These distributed multi-agent systems call for special software modeling methods that e...
