      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 ...

      Reliable internet-based master-worker computing in the presence of malicious workers 

      Fernández Anta, Antonio; Georgiou, Chryssis; López, Luis; Santos, Agustín (2012)
      We consider a Master-Worker distributed system where a master processor assigns, over the Internet, tasks to a collection of n workers, which are untrusted and might act maliciously. In addition, a worker may not reply to ...

      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 ...
