We propose a new paradigm for software availability enhancement. We offer a two-step strategy: Failure prediction followed by maintenance actions with the objective of avoiding imp...
We consider the problem of assigning transmission powers to the nodes of a wireless network in such a way that all the nodes are connected by bidirectional links and the total powe...
Current computing environments are becoming increasingly complex in nature and exhibit unpredictable workloads. These environments create challenges to the design of systems that c...
Spatial abstractions promise to be basic necessary ingredients for a novel “spatial computing” approach to distributed systems development and management, suitable to tackle th...
Abstract Virtual path management in dynamic networks poses a number of challenges related to combinatorial optimisation, fault and traffic handling. Ideally such management should ...
Decentralized peer to peer (p2p) networks like Gnutella are attractive for certain applications because they require no centralized directories and no precise control over network ...
Abstract. Peer-to-peer networks have often been touted as the ultimate solution to scalability. Although cooperative techniques have been initially used almost exclusively for cont...
