Open3DQSAR is a freely available open-source program aimed at chemometric analysis of
molecular interaction fields. MIFs can be imported from different sources (GRID …

Trust is becoming an increasingly important issue in large-scale distributed systems.
Especially self-managed systems from the Autonomic and Organic Computing domains …

Future technical systems will be increasingly characterised by openness and heterogeneity
of participating elements. Based on exemplary application scenarios such as Desktop …

This paper proposes a decentralized and fault‐tolerant software system for the purpose of
managing Desktop Grid resources. Its main design principle is to eliminate the need for a …

Cloud providers (CPs) rely on server consolidation (the allocation of several virtual
machines [VMs] on the same physical server) to minimize their costs. Maximizing the …

A typical problem that arises when devising a novel resource management strategy for
virtualized infrastructures is how to experimentally assess its ability of achieving its design …

Abstract Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Desktop Grids are computing infrastructures that aggregate a
set of desktop-class machines in which all the participating entities have the same roles …

Open distributed systems consisting of a potentially large set of autonomous entities might
not be controllable directly. More precisely, standard control interventions, such as altering …

Self-integration in open, distributed technical systems needs a mechanism for establishing
and evaluating trust relationships to work in a stable and efficient manner. Based on a case …
