The rubber hand illusion is a simple illusion where participants can be induced to report and
behave as if a rubber hand is part of their body. The induction is usually done by an …

Large-scale distributed computing environments provide a vast amount of heterogeneous
computing resources from different sources for resource sharing and distributed computing …

Abstract eScience is rapidly changing the way we do research. As a result, many research
labs now need non-trivial computational power. Grid and voluntary computing are well …

Large distributed systems challenge traditional schedulers, as it is often hard to determine a
priori how long each task will take to complete on each resource, information that is input for …

SIMP is a novel multiple instruction-pipeline parallel architecture. It is targeted for enhancing
the performance of SISD processors drastically by exploiting both temporal and spatial …

Currently, most computational grids (systems allowing transparent sharing of computing
resources across organizational boundaries) are assembled using human negotiation. This …

A fundamental problem in large scale, decentralized distributed systems is the efficient
discovery of information. This paper presents Squid, a peer-to-peer information discovery …

It is a challenge for the traditional centralized or hierarchical Grid architecture to manage the
large-scale and dynamic resources, while providing scalability. The Peer-to-Peer (P2P) …

This paper analyzes the adoption of unstructured P2P overlay networks to build resource
discovery services. We consider a simple distributed communication protocol, which is …

Machine-to-Machine (M2M) communications emerge to achieve ubiquitous communications
among all the networked devices. One challenging problem in M2M applications is to …
