Jonathan Moffett, Morris S. Sloman • IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications
(1993)
Distributed system management, involves monitoring the activity of a system, making management decisions and performing control actions to modify the behavior of the system. Most of the research on management has concentrated on management ...

Xizhou Feng, Rong Ge, Kirk W. Cameron • IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium (IPDPS)
(2005)
Power consumption is a troublesome design constraint for emergent systems such as IBM's BlueGene /L. If current trends continue, future petaflop systems will require 100 megawatts of power to maintain high-performance. To address this probl...

Brian White, Jay Lepreau, Leigh B. Stoller, Robert Ricci et al. • ACM SIGOPS Operating Systems Review
(2002)
Three experimental environments traditionally support network and distributed systems research: network emulators, network simulators, and live networks. The continued use of multiple approaches highlights both the value and inadequacy of e...

K. Arvind • IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems
(1994)
Presents and analyzes a new probabilistic clock synchronization algorithm that can guarantee a much smaller bound on the clock skew than most existing algorithms. The algorithm is probabilistic in the sense that the bound on the clock skew ...

In a distributed system, one strategy for achieving mutual exclusion of groups of nodes without communication is to assign to each node a number of votes. Only a group with a majority of votes can execute the critical operations, and mutual...

We analyze replication of resources by server nodes that act selfishly, using a game-theoretic approach. We refer to this as the selfish caching problem. In our model, nodes incur either cost for replicating resources or cost for access to ...
