    A Structured Overlay for Multi-dimensional Range Queries

    We introduce SONAR, a structured overlay to store and retrieve objects addressed by multi-dimensional names (keys). The overlay has the shape of a multi-dimensional torus, where each node is responsible for a con...

    Efficient Synchronization of Replicated Data in Distributed Systems

    We present nsync, a tool for synchronizing large replicated data sets in distributed systems. nsync computes nearly optimal synchronization plans based on a hierarchy of gossip algorithms that take the network to...

    Metacomputing

    The basic idea about metacomputing is to utilize a variety of geographically dis- persed resources, such as computers, storage systems, data sources and special devices, which are seen by the user as a single ...
