Modeling Volunteer Based Systems
PublicationThere are two main approaches to processing tasks requiring high amounts of computational power. One approach is using clusters of mostly identical hardware, placed in dedicated locations [1, 2, 3]. The other approach is outsourcing computing resources from large numbers of volunteers connected to the Internet [7]. This chapter presents an application of a mathematical model of the volunteer computing presented in Volume 1 of this...

More Just Measure of Fairness for Sharing Network Resources
PublicationA more just measure of resource distribution in computer networks is proposed. Classic functions evaluate fairness only “on average”. The proposed new fairness score function ensures that no node is left without resources while on average everything looks good. It is compared with well-known and widely adopted function proposed by Jain, Chiu and Hawe and another one recently proposed fairness function by Chen and Zhang. The function...
