Objects containing the document locations for popular keywords are sufficiently large to create storage hotspots at some hosts. Since each object is assigned to a single key, DHT key based load balancing techniques are incapable of splitting the object through several hosts. Furthermore, caching techniques only reduce network load for query operations and not handling network load during insert...

The main purpose of this paper was to find a simple solution for load balancing and fault tolerance in OSGi. The challenge was to implement a highly available web application such as a shopping cart system with load balancing and fault tolerance, without having to change the core of OSGi. Keywords—Fault tolerance, load balancing, OSGi, shopping cart system.

Abstract “Queer” is a relatively recent and somewhat controversial term in African studies. Yet it proving to be productive, not only for understanding subjectivities of sexuality gender, but also situating Africa’s position the larger economy knowledge. Otu van Klinken explore productive tensions between “queer” “Africa,” aim read Africa as queer from Africa. Thus, rather than imagining polar ...

This paper focuses on load management in looselycoupled federated distributed systems. We present a distributed mechanism for moving load between autonomous participants using bilateral contracts that are negotiated offline and that set bounded prices for moving load. We show that our mechanism has good incentive properties, efficiently redistributes excess load, and has a low overhead in pract...
