Chord: A Scalable Peer-to-Peer Lookup Service for Internet Applications

by Ion Stoica, Robert Morris, David Karger, M. Frans Kaashoek, Hari Balakrishnan - SIGCOMM'01 , 2001
"... A fundamental problem that confronts peer-to-peer applications is to efficiently locate the node that stores a particular data item. This paper presents Chord, a distributed lookup protocol that addresses this problem. Chord provides support for just one operation: given a key, it maps the key onto ..."

The physiology of the grid: An open grid services architecture for distributed systems integration

by Ian Foster , 2002
"... In both e-business and e-science, we often need to integrate services across distributed, heterogeneous, dynamic “virtual organizations ” formed from the disparate resources within a single enterprise and/or from external resource sharing and service provider relationships. This integration can be t ..."

, this architecture defines a uniform exposed service semantics (the Grid service); defines standard mechanisms for creating, naming, and discovering transient Grid service instances; provides location transparency and multiple protocol bindings for service instances; and supports integration with underlying native

SEAD: Secure Efficient Distance Vector Routing for Mobile Wireless Ad Hoc Networks

by Yih-Chun Hu, David B. Johnson, Adrian Perrig , 2003
"... An ad hoc network is a collection of wireless computers (nodes), communicating among themselves over possibly multihop paths, without the help of any infrastructure such as base stations or access points. Although many previous ad hoc network routing protocols have been based in part on distance vec ..."

Systems Competition and Network Effects

by Michael L. Katz, Carl Shapiro - JOURNAL OF ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVES—VOLUME 8, NUMBER 2—SPRING 1994—PAGES 93–115 , 1994
"... Many products have little or no value in isolation, but generate value when combined with others. Examples include: nuts and bolts, which together provide fastening services; home audio or video components and programming, which together provide entertainment services; automobiles, repair parts and ..."

A Delay-Tolerant Network Architecture for Challenged Internets

by Kevin Fall , 2003
"... The highly successful architecture and protocols of today’s Internet may operate poorly in environments characterized by very long delay paths and frequent network partitions. These problems are exacerbated by end nodes with limited power or memory resources. Often deployed in mobile and extreme env ..."

Link-Sharing and Resource Management Models for Packet Networks

by Sally Floyd, Van Jacobson , 1995
"... This paper discusses the use of link-sharing mechanisms in packet networks and presents algorithms for hierarchical link-sharing. Hierarchical link-sharing allows multiple agencies, protocol families, or traflic types to share the bandwidth on a tink in a controlled fashion. Link-sharing and real-t ..."

Versatile Low Power Media Access for Wireless Sensor Networks

by Joseph Polastre, Jason Hill, David Culler , 2004
"... We propose B-MAC, a carrier sense media access protocol for wireless sensor networks that provides a flexible interface to obtain ultra low power operation, effective collision avoidance, and high channel utilization. To achieve low power operation, B-MAC employs an adaptive preamble sampling scheme ..."

The anatomy of the Grid: Enabling scalable virtual organizations.

by Ian Foster , • , Carl Kesselman , Steven Tuecke - The International Journal of High Performance Computing Applications , 2001
"... Abstract "Grid" computing has emerged as an important new field, distinguished from conventional distributed computing by its focus on large-scale resource sharing, innovative applications, and, in some cases, high-performance orientation. In this article, we define this new field. First, ..."

The design and implementation of an intentional naming system

by William Adjie-Winoto, Elliot Schwartz, Hari Balakrishnan, Jeremy Lilley - 17TH ACM SYMPOSIUM ON OPERATING SYSTEMS PRINCIPLES (SOSP '99) PUBLISHED AS OPERATING SYSTEMS REVIEW, 34(5):186--201, DEC. 1999 , 1999
"... This paper presents the design and implementation of the Intentional Naming System (INS), a resource discovery and service location system for dynamic and mobile networks of devices and computers. Such environments require a naming system that is (i) expressive, to describe and make requests based o ..."
