Resource sharing is a major advantage of distributed computing. However, a distributed
computing system may have some physical or virtual resource that may be accessible by a …

Big datasets are often stored in flat files and can contain contradictory data. Contradictory
data undermines the soundness of the information from a noisy dataset. Traditional tools …

Computing is a progressing technique. As part of this progression, computing needs
directed by Applications always exceed accessible technology. Computer architects are …

We propose a new composition approach to mutual exclusion algorithms for applications
spread over a grid which is composed of a federation of clusters. Taking into account the …

Popular public cloud infrastructures tend to feature centralized, mutual exclusion models for
distributed resources, such as file systems. The result of using such centralized solutions in …

Computationally complex problems can be solved using distributed computing resources,
but the problem arises in the optimal way of distributing tasks between computing nodes in …

Automatic segmentation of foreground text from the background in degraded document
images is very much essential for the smooth reading of the document content and …

This paper presents a token-based mutual exclusion algorithm designed to be used in
Collaborative Distributed Environments by means of multi-agent architecture. This research …

In a file system, critical sections are represented by means of read or write operations on
useful data (ie files) as well as metadata of the system. The processes must be synchronized …

Computing is an evolutionary process. As part of this evolution, the computing requirements
driven by applications have always outpaced the available technology. The system …
