Desktop grid (DG) systems use the idle computing power of many volunteered desktop PC’s on the Internet to support large-scale computation and storage. For over a decade, DG sys...
Through massive parallelism, distributed systems enable the multiplication of productivity. Unfortunately, increasing the scale of available machines to users will also multiply d...
We consider the problem of bulk data transfers and bandwidth sharing in the context of grid infrastructures. Grid computing empowers high-performance computing in a large-scale di...
Replication is a technique commonly used to increase the availability of services in distributed systems, including grid and web services. While replication is relatively easy for...

— The potential of truly large scale grids can only be realized with grid architectures and deployment strategies that lower the need for human administrative intervention, and t...
Trace-driven simulation is an important technique used in the evaluation of computer architecture innovations. However using it for studying parallel computers and applications is...
Grids are becoming a mission-critical component in research and industry. The services they provide are thus required to be highly available, contributing to the vision of the Gri...
