We present a hierarchical distributed communication and control architecture for Smart Grids. The proposed topology consists of multiple layers to allow for robust and flexible d...
Several works on grid computing have been proposed in the last years. However, most of them, including available software, can not deal properly with some issues related to contro...
An important problem that confronts data grid applications is to efficiently locate the node that stores a particular data replica. This paper proposes a Hierarchical Replica Loca...
In the past, efficient parallel algorithms have always been developed specifically for the successive generations of parallel systems (vector machines, shared-memory machines, d...
Embracing service-oriented architectures in the context of large systems, such as the Web, rises a set of new and challenging issues: increased size and load in terms of users and...
