This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 12th International Conference on Parallel Computing, Euro-Par 2006. The book presents 110 carefully reviewed, revised papers. Topics include support tools and environments; performance prediction and evaluation; scheduling and load balancing; compilers for high performance; parallel and distributed databases, data mining and knowledge discovery; grid and cluster computing: models, middleware and architectures; parallel computer architecure and instruction-level parallelism; distributed systems and algorithms, and more.
Over the past two decades, we have witnessed unprecedented innovations in the development of miniaturized electromechanical devices and low-power wireless communication making practical the embedding of networked computational devices into a rapidly widening range of material entities. This trend has enabled the coupling of physical objects and digital information into cyber-physical systems and it is widely expected to revolutionize the way resource computational consumption and provision will occur. Specifically, one of the core ingredients of this vision, the so-called Internet of Things (IoT), demands the provision of networked services to support interaction between conventional IT syst...
This book constitutes the thoroughly refereed post-conference proceedings of the Third International ICST Conference on Networks for Grid Applications, GridNets 2009, held in Athens, Greece, in September 2009. The 10 full papers, 3 invited papers and 2 invited keynotes address the whole spectrum of Grid networks and cover various topics such as authorisation infrastructure for on-demand Grid and network resource provisioning, access control requirements for Grid and cloud computing systems, business models, accounting and billing concepts in Grid-aware networks, multiple resource scheduling in e-science applications, percolation-based replica discovery in peer-to-peer grid infrastructures, G...
This book constitutes the refereed post-proceedings of the 8th International Workshop on Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems, and Services, GECON 2011, held in Paphos, Cyprus, in December 2011. The 9 revised full papers presented together with 5 work in progress papers were carefully reviewed and selected from 27 papers. The papers are organized in topical sections on market mechanisms and negotiation; cost models, charging, and trading platforms; resource allocation, scheduling, and admission control; and two work in progress sections: risk assessment and economics of cloud services; and cost-aware adoption of cloud services.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 16th International Conference on Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems, and Services, GECON 2019, held in Leeds, UK, in September 2019. The 12 full papers and 10 short papers presented in this book were carefully reviewed and selected from 48 submissions. This GECON 2019 proceedings was structured in selected topics, namely: blockchain technology and smart contracts; cost-based computing allocation; resource, service and communication federations; economic assessment, business and pricing models; blockchain and network function virtualization technologies; economic models for cyber-physical systems, industry 4.0 and sustainable systems; resource management; and emerging ideas.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 7th International Workshop on Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems, and Services, GECON 2010, held in Ischia, Italy, in August 2010. The papers are organized in topical sections on service evaluation and trust; service pricing and software licenses; work in progress on adoption of grid and cloud services; and work in progress on value chains and service level agreements.
The Grid computing concept, which allows users to integrate administratively and g- graphically dispersed computing resources, has been gaining traction in a number of application areas during the past few years. By interconnecting many – heterogeneous, though usually virtualized – computing resources, virtual computer centers or superc- puters can be created, providing a seamless supply of computing resources. Grid comp- ing provides benefits not only for scientific computing (e.g., SETI@home, which interconnects one million computers across 226 countries with a total processing power of 711 TFLOPS) but also in a commercial environment. It is projected that computing Grids can lower the...
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 11th International Symposium on Stabilization, Safety, and Security of Distributed Systems, SSS 2009, held in Lyon, France, in November 2009. The 49 revised full papers and 14 brief announcements presented together with three invited talks were carefully reviewed and selected from 126 submissions. The papers address all safety and security-related aspects of self-stabilizing systems in various areas. The most topics related to self-* systems. The special topics were alternative systems and models, autonomic computational science, cloud computing, embedded systems, fault-tolerance in distributed systems / dependability, formal methods in distributed systems, grid computing, mobility and dynamic networks, multicore computing, peer-to-peer systems, self-organizing systems, sensor networks, stabilization, and system safety and security.
This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 15th International Conference on Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems, and Services, GECON 2018, held in Pisa, Italy, in September 2018. The 21 full papers and 9 short papers presented together with 1 invited talk were carefully reviewed and selected from 40 submissions.This GECON 2018 proceedings was structured in three special sessions on selected topics, namely: IT service ecosystems enabled through emerging digital technologies; machine learning, cognitive systems and data science for system management; and blockchain technologies and economics.
A new theory of moral and aesthetic value for the age of remix, going beyond the usual debates over originality and appropriation. Remix—or the practice of recombining preexisting content—has proliferated across media both digital and analog. Fans celebrate it as a revolutionary new creative practice; critics characterize it as a lazy and cheap (and often illegal) recycling of other people's work. In Of Remixology, David Gunkel argues that to understand remix, we need to change the terms of the debate. The two sides of the remix controversy, Gunkel contends, share certain underlying values—originality, innovation, artistic integrity. And each side seeks to protect these values from the...
