With the proliferation of wireless devices, mobile ad hoc networking (MANET) has become a very exciting and important technology due to its characteristics of open medium and dyna...
We introduce obstruction-freedom, a new nonblocking property for shared data structure implementations. This property is strong enough to avoid the problems associated with locks,...
In this paper, we present a real-time communication protocol for sensor networks, called SPEED. The protocol provides three types of real-time communication services, namely, real...

In recent years there has been an increasing demand to build ”soft” real-time applications on top of asynchronous distributed systems. Designing and implementing such applicat...
This paper studies the problem of updates in decentralised and self-organising P2P systems in which peers have low online probabilities and only local knowledge. The update strate...
Monitoring and information services form a key component of a distributed system, or Grid. A quantitative study of such services can aid in understanding the performance limitatio...

Divisible workload applications arise in many fields of science and engineering. They can be parallelized in master-worker fashion and relevant scheduling strategies have been pr...
Grid computing is concerned with the sharing and coordinated use of diverse resources in distributed "virtual organizations.” The dynamic and multi-institutional nature of ...
