Mirror sites approach has been proposed recently for reducing the access delay and providing load balancing in network servers. In the mirror site approach a file, such as a multi...
With a changing structure of networks and application systems due to the requirements of decentralised enterprises and open service markets, distributed systems with rapidly incre...
Today information can be accessed from the Internet using a variety of devices and via different types of networks. With such diversity, it is impossible for a server on the Inter...
Performance modeling and evaluation techniques are essential when designing and implementing distributed software systems. Constructing performance models for such systems can req...
