Most of the services viewed in context to grid and cloud computing are mostly confined to services that are available for intellectual purposes. The grid or cloud computing are large scale distributed systems. The essence of large scale…
In recent years, tremendous progress has been made in understanding the dynamics of vehicle traffic flow and traffic congestion by interpreting traffic as a multi-particle system. This helps to explain the onset and persistence of many…
The use of under-utilized Internet resources is widely recognized as a viable form of high performance computing. Sustained processing power of roughly 40T FLOPS using 4 million volunteered Internet hosts has been reported for…
Service-oriented infrastructures pose new challenges in a number of areas, notably with regard to security and dependability. BT has developed a combination of innovative security solutions and governance frameworks that can address these…
P2P systems are a great solution to the problem of distributing resources. The main issue of P2P networks is that searching and retrieving resources shared by peers is usually expensive and does not take into account similarities among…
In this paper we present a SOA (Service Oriented Architecture)-based platform, enabling the retrieval and analysis of big datasets stemming from social networking (SN) sites and Internet of Things (IoT) devices, collected by smart city…
The growing electricity demand and use of smart appliances are placing pressure on power grids, making efficient energy management more important than ever. The existing energy management systems often prioritize system efficiency (balanced…
The Internet of Things comes along with new challenges for experimenting, testing, and operating decentralized socio-technical systems at large-scale. In such systems, autonomous agents interact locally with their users, and remotely with…
Network virtualization allows one to build dynamic distributed systems in which resources can be dynamically allocated at locations where they are most useful. In order to fully exploit the benefits of this new technology, protocols need to…
The increasing adoption of advanced metering infrastructure has led to growing concerns regarding privacy risks stemming from the high resolution measurements. This has given rise to privacy protection techniques that physically alter the…
Automatic network management strategies have become paramount for meeting the needs of innovative real-time and data-intensive applications, such as in the Internet of Things. However, meeting the ever-growing and fluctuating demands for…
Federated learning has emerged as a privacy-preserving technique for collaborative model training across heterogeneously distributed silos. Yet, its reliance on a single central server introduces potential bottlenecks and risks of…
In the next generation network, the satellite network will play a fundamental role, in overcoming the limitation of the terrestrial network. Nonetheless, the satellite-terrestrial network integration presents a number of problems due to the…
Internet-enabled things and devices operating in the physical world are increasingly integrated in modern distributed systems, supporting functionalities that require assurances that certain critical requirements are satisfied by the…
With the popularity of the Internet, traditional offline resource allocation has evolved into a new form, called online resource allocation. It features the online arrivals of agents in the system and the real-time decision-making…
We inhabit a world that is not only small but supports efficient decentralized search - an individual using local information can establish a line of communication with another completely unknown individual. Here we augment a hierarchical…
We model the Internet as a network of interconnected Autonomous Systems which self-organize under an absolute lack of centralized control. Our aim is to capture how the Internet evolves by reproducing the assembly that has led to its actual…
Distributed ledgers are a new type of database technology that allows open access to data stored across distributed, decentralised, publicly maintained infrastructures. Current implementations of the such ledgers expect competition between…
"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…
The operation of the power grid is becoming more stressed, due to the addition of new large loads represented by Electric Vehicles (EVs) and a more intermittent supply due to the incorporation of renewable sources. As a consequence, the…
