On peer-to-peer media streaming - Trang 363-371
Dongyan Xu, M. Hefeeda, S. Hambrusch, B. Bhargava
In this paper, we study a peer-to-peer media streaming system with the following
characteristics: (1) its streaming capacity grows dynamically; (2) peers do not
exhibit server-like behavior; (3) peers are heterogeneous in their bandwidth
contribution; and (4) each streaming session may involve multiple supplying
peers. Based on these characteristics, we investigate two problems: (1) how to
assign ... hiện toàn bộ

Architecture of a large-scale location service - Trang 465-466
A. Leonhardi, K. Rothermel
Location-aware services are a promising way of exploiting the special
possibilities created by ubiquitous mobile devices and wireless communication.
Advanced location-aware applications will require highly accurate information
about the geographic location of mobile objects and functionality that goes
beyond simply querying the user's position, for example determining all mobile
objects inside a c... hiện toàn bộ

Dynamic data broadcasting with traffic awareness - Trang 112-119
Chih-Lin Hu, Ming-Syan Chen
Data dissemination has significantly served as a scalable data delivery
mechanism in wireless networks. However, even though the broadcast traffic has
the nature of dynamic changes, most previous research efforts were elaborated
upon the premise of static workloads and access patterns without having proper
traffic awareness. In this paper, we address the existence of client impatience
and accordin... hiện toàn bộ

Overlook: scalable name service on an overlay network - Trang 52-61
M. Theimer, M.B. Jones
This paper indicates that a scalable fault-tolerant name service can be provided
utilizing an overlay network and that such a name service can scale along a
number of dimensions: it can be sized to support a large number of clients, it
can allow large numbers of concurrent lookups on the same name or sets of names,
and it can provide name lookup latencies measured in seconds. Furthermore, it
can e... hiện toàn bộ

Adaptive and virtual reconfigurations for effective dynamic job scheduling in cluster systems - Trang 35-42
Songqing Chen, Li Xiao, Xiaodong Zhang
In a cluster system with dynamic load sharing support, a job submission or
migration to a workstation is determined by the availability of CPU and memory
resources of the workstation at the time. In such a system, a small number of
running jobs with unexpectedly large memory allocation requirements may
significantly increase the queuing delay times of the rest of jobs with normal
memory requiremen... hiện toàn bộ

Distributing MPEG movies over the Internet using programmable networks - Trang 161-170
D. He, G. Muller, J.L. Lawall
Distributing video over the Internet is an increasingly important application.
Nevertheless, the real-time and high bandwidth requirements of video make video
distribution over today's Internet a challenge. Adaptive approaches can be used
to respond to changes in bandwidth availability while limiting the effect of
such changes on perceptual quality and resource consumption. Nevertheless, most
exis... hiện toàn bộ

Extending RMI to support dynamic reconfiguration of distributed systems - Trang 401-408
Xuejun Chen
By using dynamic reconfiguration, the flexibility, adaptability, and
extensibility of distributed systems are enhanced. Treating interactions among
components during dynamic reconfiguration is still one of the most crucial
problems in this research area. This challenge should be met by middleware
design and development. However, current standard middleware offers little
support for dynamic reconfi... hiện toàn bộ

Snap-stabilizing PIF algorithm in arbitrary networks - Trang 199-206
A. Cournier, A.K. Datta, F. Petit, V. Villain
We present the first snap-stabilizing propagation of information with feedback
(PIF) protocol in arbitrary networks. A snap-stabilizing protocol, starting from
any arbitrary initial system configuration, always behaves according to its
specification. Our protocol is distributed, deterministic, and does not use a
pre-constructed spanning tree.

Design of a policy-driven middleware for secure distributed collaboration - Trang 393-400
A.R. Tripathi, T. Ahmed, R. Kumar, S. Jaman
We present the execution model of policy-driven middleware for building secure
distributed collaboration systems from their high level specifications. Our
specification model supports nested collaboration activities, and uses
role-based security policies and event count based coordination specification.
From the specifications of a collaboration environment, appropriate policy
modules are derived ... hiện toàn bộ

Improving the scalability of fault-tolerant database clusters - Trang 477-484
R. Jimenez-Peris, M. Patino-Martinez, B. Kemme, G. Alonso
Replication has become a central element in modem information systems playing a
dual role: increase availability and enhance scalability. Unfortunately, most
existing protocols increase availability at the cost of scalability; This paper
presents architecture, implementation and performance of a middleware based
replication tool that provides both availability and better scalability than
existing ... hiện toàn bộ
