The scalability properties of DHT based overlay networks is considered satisfactory. However, in large scale systems this might still cause a problem since they have a logarithmic...
Searching for similar objects in metric-space databases can be efficiently solved by using index data structures. A number of alternative sequential indexes have been proposed in...
System-level virtualization has been a research topic since the 70’s but regained popularity during the past few years because of the availability of efficient solution such as...
Search engines use inverted files as index data structures to speed up the solution of user queries. The index is distributed on a set of processors forming a cluster of computer...
This paper describes the design of a crawler devised to perform the periodic retrieval of Web documents for a search engine able to accept on-line updates in a concurrent manner. ...
This paper presents QLSE (QoS-constrained List Scheduling hEuristics), a Quality of Service-based launch time scheduling algorithm for wide area Grids. QLSE considers applications...
In ubiquitous environments an increasing number of sensors capture information on users and an increasing number of actuators present information to users. In this paper we presen...
The match between a peer-to-peer overlay and the physical Internet infrastructure is a constant issue. Time-constrained peer-to-peer applications such as live streaming systems ar...

Manual deployment of the application usually requires expertise both about the underlying system and the application. Automatic service deployment can improve deployment significa...
This paper addresses the issue of type safe algorithmic skeletons. From a theoretical perspective we contribute by: formally specifying a type system for algorithmic skeletons, an...
