Distributed Network Formation for n-Way Broadcast Applications

NETWORK QoS PROVISION FOR DISTRIBUTED GRID APPLICATIONS

Grid computing provides a global-scale distributed computing infrastructure for executing scientific and business applications. An important requirement is the need to make this infrastructure appear as a single logical coordinated resource – which in reality consists of a variety of resources aggregated across different administrative domains. The aggregation of network resources is often unde...

Network Service Selection for Distributed Multimedia Applications

Distributed multimedia applications require that the underlying communication and computational support systems provide real-time performance and reliability on an end-to-end basis. An important question in the development of system support for distributed multimedia is the type of service offered to applications. This paper compares two commonly used network service types, fair queueing and de...

Distributed network-based formation control

This article investigates a formation control problem of mobile robots. Two main issues of the formation control problem are addressed; one is the implementation of distributed formation control and another is the analysis of effect of network communication on the closed-loop systems. The distributed formation control is obtained by modelling the formation control problem as a linear-quadratic ...

Broadcast Protocols for Distributed Systems

We present an innovative approach to the design of faultprocessors agree on exactly the same sequence of broadcast tolerant distributed systems that avoids the several rounds of message exchange required by current protocols for consensus agreement. The messages. approach is based on broadcast communication over a local area It is easy to demonstrate that placing a total order on network, such ...
