Our infrastructure systems enable our well-being by allowing us to move, store, and transform materials and information given considerable social and environmental variation. Critically, this ability is shaped by the degree to which society…

A human computation system can be viewed as a distributed system in which the processors are humans, called workers. Such systems harness the cognitive power of a group of workers connected to the Internet to execute relatively simple…

Cloud computing systems promise to offer subscription-oriented, enterprise-quality computing services to users worldwide. With the increased demand for delivering services to a large number of users, they need to offer differentiated…

Collective adaptive systems are an emerging class of networked computational systems, particularly suited in application domains such as smart cities, complex sensor networks, and the Internet of Things. These systems tend to feature large…

A web-based interface dedicated for cluster computer which is publicly accessible for free is introduced. The interface plays an important role to enable secure public access, while providing user-friendly computational environment for…

An overly simplistic reliance on the utility model risks blinding us to the real opportunities and challenges of cloud computing.

When a network application is implmented as a virtual machine on a cloud and is used by a large number of users, the location of the virtual machine should be selected carefully so that the response time experienced by users is minimized.…

Many enterprise software systems supporting IT services are characterised by a need for a high computing capability and resource consumption (Armbrust et al. 2010; Buyya et al. 2008; Ko\c{c}ak et al. 2013). Cloud Computing initiatives have…

Grid computing is the next logical step to distributed computing. Main objective of grid computing is an innovative approach to share resources such as CPU usage; memory sharing and software sharing. Data Grids provide transparent access to…

Data is a precious resource in today's society, and is generated at an unprecedented and constantly growing pace. The need to store, analyze, and make data promptly available to a multitude of users introduces formidable challenges in…

Compute infrastructure hosted by a cloud provider allows an application to scale without limit. The application developer no longer needs to worry about the up-front investment in a server farm provisioned for a worst-case load scenario.…

Clusters of computers have emerged as mainstream parallel and distributed platforms for high-performance, high-throughput and high-availability computing. To enable effective resource management on clusters, numerous cluster managements…

The traditional models of distributed computing focus mainly on networks of computer-like devices that can exchange large messages with their neighbors and perform arbitrary local computations. Recently, there is a trend to apply…

Cloud computing is an emerging computing model where IT and computing operations are delivered as services in highly scalable and cost effective manner. Recently, embarking this new model in business has become popular. Companies in diverse…

We investigate a hierarchically organized cloud infrastructure and compare distributed hierarchical control based on resource monitoring with market mechanisms for resource management. The latter do not require a model of the system, incur…

Cloud computing technology provides the means to share physical resources among multiple users and data center tenants by exposing them as virtual resources. There is a strong industrial drive to use similar technology and concepts to…

This paper aims to propose a more efficient distributed monitoring and control approach for water utility in order to reduce the current water loss. This approach will help utilities operators improve water management systems, especially by…

In the future, quantum computers will become widespread and a network of quantum repeaters will provide them with end-to-end entanglement of remote quantum bits. As a result, a pervasive quantum computation infrastructure will emerge, which…

As grids are in essence heterogeneous, dynamic, shared and distributed environments, managing these kinds of platforms efficiently is extremely complex. A promising scalable approach to deal with these intricacies is the design of…

This paper describes an information system designed to support the large volume of monitoring information generated by a distributed testbed. This monitoring information is produced by several subsystems and consists of status and…
