We present a method for the efficient access to parts of remote files. The efficiency is achieved by using a file format independent compact pattern description, that allows to re...
—Large-scale online applications such as Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOGs) require large amount of computing resources that support many players interacting simultaneous...
The emergence of computational grids has lead to an increased reliance on task schedulers that can guarantee the completion of tasks that are executed on unreliable systems. There...
