Query-load balancing in structured overlays

Karl Aberer, Anwitaman Datta, Roman Schmidt

Query-load (forwarding and answering) balancing in structured overlays is one of the most critical and least studied problems. It has been assumed that caching heuristics can take care of it. We expose that caching, while necessary, is not in itself suffic ...

Tashkent+: Memory-Aware Load Balancing and Update Filtering in Replicated Databases

Willy Zwaenepoel, Sameh Mohamed Elnikety

BEST PAPER AWARDWe present a memory-aware load balancing (MALB) technique to dispatch transactions to replicas in a replicated database. Our MALB algorithm exploits knowledge of the working sets of transactions to ...

Fault-tolerant dynamic parallel schedules

Sebastian Gerlach

Dynamic Parallel Schedules (DPS) is a high-level framework for developing parallel applications on distributed memory computers such as clusters of PCs. DPS applications are defined by using directed acyclic flow graphs composed of user-defined operations. ...

SoS: self-organizing substrates

Anwitaman Datta

Large-scale networked systems often, both by design or chance exhibit self-organizing properties. Understanding self-organization using tools from cybernetics, particularly modeling them as Markov processes is a first step towards a formal framework which ...

Caching Dynamic Web Content: Designing and Analysing an Aspect-Oriented Solution

Willy Zwaenepoel, Sumit Mittal

Caching dynamic web content is an effective approach to reduce Internet latency and server load. An ideal caching solution is one that can be added transparently by the developers and provides complete consistency of the cached documents, while minimizing ...

Layered Complex Networks

Patrick Thiran, Maciej Kurant

Many complex networks are only a part of larger systems, where a number of coexisting topologies interact and depend on each other. We introduce a layered model to facilitate the description and analysis of such systems. As an example of its application, w ...

Efficient Peer-to-Peer Belief Propagation

Karl Aberer, Roman Schmidt

In this paper, we will present an efficient approach for distributed inference. We use belief propagation's message-passing algorithm on top of a DHT storing a Bayesian network. Nodes in the DHT run a variant of the spring relaxation algorithm to redistrib ...

Comparing Atomic Broadcast Algorithms in High Latency Networks

André Schiper, Nils Richard Ekwall

Since the introduction of the concept of failure detectors, several consensus and atomic broadcast algorithms based on these detectors have been published. The performance of these algorithms is often affected by a trade-off between the number of communica ...

MobiRoute: Routing towards a Mobile Sink for Improving Lifetime in Sensor Networks

Jean-Pierre Hubaux, Matthias Grossglauser, Jun Luo, Jacques Panchard

Improving network lifetime is an important issue involved in every aspect of the design and deployment of wireless sensor networks. There is a recent research trend of studying the application of a mobile sink to transport (rather than let the sensor nodes ...

A simulator for parallel applications with dynamically varying compute node allocation

Roger Hersch, Sebastian Gerlach

Dynamically allocating computing nodes to parallel applications is a promising technique for improving the utilization of cluster resources. We introduce the concept of dynamic efficiency which expresses the resource utilization efficiency as a function of ...
