      Brief announcement: Achieving reliability in master-worker computing via evolutionary dynamics 

      Christoforou, Evgenia; Fernández Anta, Antonio; Georgiou, Chryssis; Mosteiro, Miguel A.; Sanchez, A. (2012)
      This work considers Internet-based task computations in which a master process assigns tasks, over the Internet, to rational workers and collect their responses. The objective is for the master to obtain the correct task ...

      Coordinated cooperative task computing using crash-prone processors with unreliable multicast 

      Davtyan, S.; De Prisco, R.; Georgiou, Chryssis; Hadjistasi, Theophanis; Schwarzmann, A. A. (2017)
      This paper presents a new message-passing algorithm, called Do-UM, for distributed cooperative task computing in synchronous settings where processors may crash, and where any multicasts (or broadcasts) performed by crashing ...

      Internet computing: Using reputation to select workers from a pool 

      Christoforou, Evgenia; Fernández Anta, Antonio; Georgiou, Chryssis; Mosteiro, Miguel A. (2016)
      The assignment and execution of tasks over the Internet is an inexpensive solution in contrast with supercomputers. We consider an Internet-based Master-Worker task computing approach, such as SETI@home. A master process ...

      Multi-round Master-Worker Computing: A Repeated Game Approach 

      Fernández Anta, Antonio; Georgiou, Chryssis; Mosteiro, Miguel A.; Pareja, D. (IEEE Computer Society, 2016)
      We consider a computing system where a master processor assigns tasks for execution to worker processors through the Internet. We model the workers' decision of whether to comply (compute the task) or not (return a bogus ...

      Reputation-based mechanisms for evolutionary master-worker computing 

      Christoforou, Evgenia; Fernández Anta, Antonio; Georgiou, Chryssis; Mosteiro, Miguel A.; Sánchez, A. (2013)
      We consider Internet-based Master-Worker task computing systems, such as SETI@home, where a master sends tasks to potentially unreliable workers, and the workers execute and report back the result. We model such computations ...
