The process of scheduling computations for Internet-based computing presents challenges not encountered with more traditional platforms for parallel and distributed computing. The...
Abstract. Recent proposals have shown that database replication providing 1copy-serializability can have excellent performance in LAN environments by using powerful multicast primi...
In H.264/AVC [1], integer transforms are applied instead of the 8×8 discrete cosine transform (DCT) of previous standards to avoid inverse transform mismatch problems. However, th...
Scientists are increasingly using large distributed systems built from commodity off-the-shelf components to perform scientific computation. Grid computing has expanded the scale ...
Abstract. Despite significant progress in the development of Grid infrastructure, the provisioning of a customized and controllable remote execution environment remains an open iss...

Large message latencies often lead to poor performance of parallel applications. In this paper, we investigate a latency-tolerating technique that immediately releases all blocking...
Abstract. To establish lower bounds on the amount of replication, there is a common partition argument used to construct indistinguishable executions such that one violates some pr...
For providing mobility services for users through the global Internet, Mobile IP (MIP) has been standardized by IETF. Since conventional MIP has been investigated without the suppo...
Mobile devices increasingly offer functionality beyond the one provided by traditional resources – processor, memory and applications. This includes, for example, integrated mul...
