Recently, Vehicular Ad hoc Networks (VANETs) introduce a Vehicular Cloud (VC) model for
collaborating to share and use resources of vehicles to create value-added services. To …

Programmability is one of the key challenges of Exascale Computing. Using the actor model
for distributed computations may be one solution. The actor model separates computation …

In recent years, people have paid more and more attention to cloud data. However, because
users do not have absolute control over the data stored on the cloud server, it is necessary …

Coupled reactive transport simulations are extremely demanding in terms of required
computational power, which hampers their application and leads to coarsened and …

One of the key issues in large-scale distributed systems such as P2P and grids is the
capability of efficient multidimensional range query processing. Although several methods …

Consistent hashing is used for distributing the data uniformly over a given set of servers in a
topology. However, uniform distribution of the data over a given set of servers does not …

Minimizing the size of routing tables and reducing the lookup latency have established the
ground rules for several structured peer-to-peer lookup algorithms. The motivation behind …

In designing structured P2P networks, scalability, resilience, and load balancing are features
that are needed to be handled meticulously. The P2P overlay has to handle large scale of …

We make a case for a distributed hash table lookup in the network data plane. We argue that
the lookup time performance of distributed hash tables can be further improved via an in …

This thesis explores the advantages of using the actor model over the conventional Bulk
Synchronous Parallelism (BSP) in the field of HPC. In actor-based applications, actors are …
