Cloud Computing Research Challenges

In recent times cloud computing has appeared as a new model for hosting and conveying services over the Internet. This model is striking to business vendors as it eradicates the requirement for users to plan in advance, and it permits the organization to start from low level and then add more resources only if there is an increase in the service demand. Even though cloud computing presents grea...

Optimal Distributed Control for Continuum Power Systems

Large electrical power networks viewed as continuum systems have been studied under constant voltage magnitude assumptions. The continuum system phase behavior was proved to follow the dynamics of a second order nonlinear wave equation. The latter represents electromechanical wave propagation in large electric power networks. In this paper, we generalize this work to time and space variant volt...

ACM SIGACT News Distributed Computing Column 30 On Distributed Computing Principles in Systems Research

SOSP, the ACM Symposium on Operating Systems Principles, and OSDI, the USENIX Symposium no Operating System Design and Implementation, are “the world’s premier forum for researches, developers, programmers, vendors, and teachers of operating systems technology” according to the SOSP home page. While it may seem odd to discuss operating systems conferences in a column dedicated to distributed co...
