Distributed hash tables (DHTs) have been adopted as a building block for large-scale distributed systems. The upshot of this success is that their robust operation is even more imp...
PuppetCast is a protocol for secure peer sampling in large-scale distributed systems. A peer sampling protocol continuously provides each node in the system with a uniform random ...

One of the topics of paramount importance in the development of Grid middleware is the impact of faults, since their probability of occurrence in a Grid infrastructure and in larg...
: Prediction of the quality attributes of software architectures requires technologies that enable the application of analytic theories to component models. However, available anal...
Distributed computing systems are becoming bigger and more complex. While the complexity of large-scale distributed systems has been acknowledged to be an important challenge, the...
Abstract The advent of large-scale distributed systems poses unique engineering challenges. In open systems such as the internet it is not possible to prescribe the behaviour of al...
ating Structures is a system abstraction that helps to model large-scale distributed systems, whose performance mostly depends on how well the data and messages traffic is organiz...
Abstract— This paper focuses on large-scale distributed systems that can be modeled as workflows of activities sharing resources, knowledge, know-how and services. We propose a ...
Modeling the Internet delay structure is an important issue in designing large-scale distributed systems. However, linear models fail to characterize Triangle Inequality Violation...
We take the position that large-scale distributed systems are better understood, at all levels, when locality is taken into account. When communication and mobility are clearly se...
