Abstract: PlanetLab has been an enormously successful testbed for networking and distributed systems research, and it is likely to have a significant influence on future systems. In this paper, we examine PlanetLab's success, and caution against an uncritical acceptance of the factors that led to it. We discuss nine design decisions that were essential to Planet-Lab's initial success and yet in our view should be revisited in order to better position PlanetLab for its future growth.

Managing runtime execution of applications on cloud computing systems
Navendu Jain
- 05 May 2010
TL;DR: In this paper, a monitor application is generated from a specification, which defines properties of the application/cloud to monitor and rules based on the properties each rule may have one or more conditions Each monitor instance running on a host, monitors execution of the corresponding application instance on that host by obtaining from the host information regarding values of properties on the host per the application instance.

Autonomous Resource Selection for Decentralized Utility Computing
Paolo Costa,Jeff Napper,Guillaume Pierre,Maarten van Steen +3 more
- 22 Jun 2009
TL;DR: This work presents a fully decentralized resource selection algorithm by which resources autonomously select themselves when their attributes match a query, and shows that this solution scales in the number of resources as well as in thenumber of attributes, while being relatively insensitive to churn and other membership changes such as node failures.
Distributed energy efficiency in future home environments
Helmut Hlavacs,Roman Weidlich,Karin Anna Hummel,Amine Mohamed Houyou,Andreas Berl,Hermann de Meer +5 more
TL;DR: An analytical model for sharing downloads, which is verified by discrete event simulation, represents an optimistic case without P2P overhead and fairness and allows to assess the upper limit of the saving potential of distributed applications.

Don't Give Up on Distributed File Systems.
Jeremy Stribling,Emil Sit,M. Frans Kaashoek,Robert Morris +3 more
- 01 Feb 2007
TL;DR: This paper presents a distributed file system, called WheelFS, which allows applications to control consistency through the use of semantic cues, and minimizes communication costs by adhering to the slogan read globally, write locally.
Energy Efficiency in Future Home Environments: A Distributed Approach
Helmut Hlavacs,Karin Anna Hummel,Roman Weidlich,Amine Mohamed Houyou,Andreas Berl,Hermann de Meer +5 more
- 01 Jan 2008
TL;DR: An overview of the proposed architecture for sharing resources amongst home environments, which relies on complete decentralization in a peer-to-peer like manner, and above all, aims at energy efficiency.

Incentives Build Robustness in Bit-Torrent
B. Cohen
- 01 Jan 2003
TL;DR: The BitTorrent file distribution system uses tit-fortat as a method of seeking pareto efficiency, which achieves a higher level of robustness and resource utilization than any currently known cooperative technique.
Resilient overlay networks

- 21 Oct 2001
TL;DR: It is found that forwarding packets via at most one intermediate RON node is sufficient to overcome faults and improve performance in most cases, demonstrating the benefits of moving some of the control over routing into the hands of end-systems.
A blueprint for introducing disruptive technology into the Internet
Larry L. Peterson,Thomas Anderson,David E. Culler,Timothy Roscoe +3 more
- 01 Jan 2003
TL;DR: This paper argues that a new class of geographically distributed network services is emerging, and that the most effective way to design, evaluate, and deploy these services is by using an overlay-based testbed, and suggests four design principles that are not widely supported in existing testbeds.
