Grid technologies enable large-scale sharing of resources within formal or informal
consortia of individuals and/or institutions: what are sometimes called virtual organizations …

In today's chaotic network, data and services are mobile and replicated widely for
availability, durability, and locality. Components within this infrastructure interact in rich and …

Scalable management and self-organizational capabilities are emerging as central
requirements for a generation of large-scale, highly dynamic, distributed applications. We …

Previous research has shown that even low end-to-end latency can have adverse effects on
performance in virtual environments (VE). This paper reports on an experiment investigating …

The widespread deployment of inexpensive communications technology, computational
resources in the networking infrastructure, and network-enabled end devices poses an …

The Web relies on the Domain Name System (DNS) to resolve the hostname portion of
URLs into IP addresses. This marriage-of-convenience enabled the Web's meteoric rise, but …

Currently the Internet has only one level of name resolution, DNS, which converts user-level
domain names into IP addresses. In this paper we borrow liberally from the literature to …

Advances in networking technologies will soon make it possible to use the global
information infrastructure in a qualitatively different way—as a computational as well as an …

The following presents a simplified Summary of the inven tion in order to provide a basic
understanding of some aspects of the invention. This summary is not an extensive overview …

The IP-based addressing scheme currently supporting the whole routing architecture
embeds some well-known limitations that may significantly hinder the deployment of new …
