In both distributed counting and queuing, processors in a distributed system issue operations which are organized into a total order. In counting, each processor receives the rank...
Reputation in P2P networks is an important tool to encourage cooperation among peers. It is based on ranking of peers according to their past behaviour. In large-scale real world ...
The load/store queue (LSQ) is one of the most complex parts of contemporary processors. Its latency is critical for the processor performance and it is usually one of the processo...
Current trends in high-performance parallel computers show that fat-tree interconnection networks are one of the most popular topologies. The particular characteristics of this to...

Experience with generating simulation data of high energy physics experiments has shown that a job monitoring system (JMS) is essential to understand failures of jobs within the G...
Workforce planning is an important activity that enables organizations to determine the workforce needed for continued success. A workforce planning problem is a very complex task...
— This paper describes work in progress to extend component models to support Master-Worker applications and to let them to be executed on Grid infrastructures. The proposed appr...
We study a version of the β-assignment problem [3] on asynchronous rings: consider a set of items and a set of m colors, where each item is associated to one color. Consider also...

Service Oriented Architectures are emerging as the recommended paradigm for developing dispersed escience environments. In this paper we analyze the characteristics and requiremen...
The growing computational and storage needs of several scientific applications mandate the deployment of extreme-scale parallel machines, such as IBM’s Blue Gene/L which can acc...
