In this paper we augment DLT (Divisible Load Theory) with incentives such that it is beneficial for processors to report their true processing capacity and compute their assignme...
Storing data in distributed systems aims to offer higher bandwidth and scalability than storing locally. But, a couple of disadvantageous issues must be taken into account such as...
In this paper, we discuss and compare several policies to place replicas in tree networks, subject to server capacity constraints. The client requests are known beforehand, while ...
Modern single and multi-processor computer systems incorporate, either directly or through a LAN, a number of storage devices with diverse performance characteristics. These stora...
Assessing reliability at early stages of software development, such as at the level of software architecture, is desirable and can provide a cost-effective way of improving a soft...
