Distributed computer architectures labeled" peer-to-peer" are designed for the sharing of
computer resources (content, storage, CPU cycles) by direct exchange, rather than requiring …

P2P overlay networks have attracted significant research interest due to their utility as
virtualized abstractions of complex network infrastructures, optimized to satisfy specific …

The first edition of this book appeared in 1991 when the technology was new and there were
not too many products. In the Preface to the first edition, we had quoted Michael Stonebraker …

We describe PNUTS, a massively parallel and geographically distributed database system
for Yahoo!'s web applications. PNUTS provides data storage organized as hashed or …

Trends towards consolidation and higher-density computing configurations make the
problem of heat management one of the critical challenges in emerging data centers …

In this paper, we present the design, implementation, and evaluation of iPlane, a scalable
service providing accurate predictions of Internet path performance for emerging overlay …

To use their pool of resources efficiently, distributed stream-processing systems push query
operators to nodes within the network. Currently, these operators, ranging from simple filters …

This paper studies the use of statistical induction techniques as a basis for automated
performance diagnosis and performance management. The goal of the work is to develop …

This paper presents the design of Mercury, a scalable protocol for supporting multi-attribute
range-based searches. Mercury differs from previous range-based query systems in that it …

Systems and methods provide an alert correlator and an alert distributor that enable early
signs of an attack to be detected and rapidly disseminated to collaborating systems. The …
