RSS structuredLocality-Aware and Churn-Resilient Load Balancing Algorithms in Structured Peer-to-Peer Networks
White Paper Structured peer-to-peer overlay networks like Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) map data items to the network based on a consistent hashing function. Such mapping for data distribution has an inherent load balance problem. [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing in Structured P2P Systems
White Paper Most P2P systems that provide a DHT abstraction distribute objects among "Peer nodes" by choosing random identifiers for the objects. This could result in an O(log N) imbalance. Besides, P2P systems can be highly heterogeneous, i.e.they... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing in Dynamic Structured P2P Systems
White Paper This paper proposes an algorithm for load balancing in such heterogeneous, dynamic P2P systems. This simulation results show that in the face of rapid arrivals and departures of objects of widely varying load, this algorithm achieves... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing in Peer-to-Peer Data Networks
White Paper One of the issues considered in all Peer-to-Peer Data Networks, or Structured Overlays, is keeping a fair load distribution among the nodes participating in the network. Whilst this issue is well defined and basically... [10 Jul 2008]
Load Balancing Strategies for Parallel SAMR Algorithms
White Paper Block-structured methods are well-suited for the time-explicit computation of large-scale dynamical problems, but still require parallelization on distributed systems. Highly resolved numerical solutions of partial... [10 Jul 2008]
Multiple-Choice Random Network for Server Load Balancing
White Paper In many networking applications such as file sharing, structured peer-to-peer networks are increasingly used in dynamic situations with fluctuating load, which require proper load balancing. The relationship between the... [10 Jul 2008]
Efficient, Proximity-Aware Load Balancing for Structured P2P Systems
White Paper Structured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems address the load balancing issue in rather naive way, by simply resorting to the uniformity of the hash function utilized to generate object IDs. Such a random choice of object IDs... [10 Jul 2008]

Locality Preserving Load Balancing in Structured P2P System
White Paper Emerging P2P applications such as telematics require an ability to efficiently discover information using partial knowledge such as range in P2P storage and retrieval system. Since the system is decentralized and manages tons of data, it... [10 Jul 2008]
Dynamic Load Balancing of SAMR Applications on Distributed Systems
White Paper This paper proposes a DLB scheme for Structured Adaptive Mesh Refinement (SAMR) applications on distributed systems. Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) for parallel systems has been studied extensively; however, DLB for... [10 Jul 2008]
Facilitating Emerging Collaboration Through Light-Weight Information Sharing
White Paper Collaborative processes very often emerge from unstructured ad hoc communication activities to more structured types of formal collaboration. Groupware has focused on the two extremes of this continuum but neglected all... [09 Jul 2008]
One-Hundred Days in an Activity-Centric Collaboration Environment Based on Shared Objects
White Paper This paper describes a new collaboration technology that is carefully poised between informal, ad hoc, easy-to-initiate collaborative tools, vs.more formal, structured, and high-overhead collaborative applications. [09 Jul 2008]
Patterns of Media Use in an Activity-Centric Collaborative Environment
White Paper This paper describes a new collaboration technology that is based on the support of lightweight, informally structured, opportunistic activities featuring heterogeneous threads of shared items with dynamic membership. [09 Jul 2008]
Working Together Inside an Emailbox
White Paper A diversity of shared email practices is learned in 14 schools, museums, and support centers through semi-structured interviews and (where feasible) site visits. This paper looks at a situation in which email is not... [09 Jul 2008]
Offshore Software Test Automation: A Strategic Approach to Cost and Speed Effectiveness
White Paper The paper explains how Action Based Testing (ABT), a structured methodology that underlies automated software testing, can help ISVs and other software developers speed their products' time-to-marketwithout sacrificing... [09 Jul 2008]
