Volunteer computing is a form of network based distributed computing, which allows public
participants to share their idle computing resources, and helps run computationally …

Abstract “Volunteer computing” is the use of consumer digital devices for high-throughput
scientific computing. It can provide large computing capacity at low cost, but presents …

In the age of cloud, Grid, P2P, and volunteer distributed computing, large-scale systems with
tens of thousands of unreliable hosts are increasingly common. Invariably, these systems …

Fog computing extends cloud computing to end devices, in order to better support time
dependent, location dependent, massive scale, and latency sensitive applications. In this …

In the age of cloud, Grid, P2P, and volunteer distributed computing, large-scale systems with
tens of thousands of unreliable hosts are increasingly common. Invariably, these systems …

Modern distributed multimedia applications are resource-hungry, and they often leverage on-
demand cloud services to reduce their expenses. Existing cloud services deploy many …

Volunteer computing uses the free resources in Internet and Intranet environments for large-
scale computation and storage. Currently, 70 applications use over 12 PetaFLOPS of …

Middleware systems for volunteer computing convert a set of computers that is large and
diverse (in terms of hardware, software, availability, reliability, and trustworthiness) into a …

The wide spreading of smart devices drives to develop distributed applications of increasing
complexity, attracting efforts from both research and business communities. Recently, a new …

Exploitation of Best Effort Distributed Computing Infrastructures (BE-DCIs) allow operators to
