This paper has benefited from the detailed and perceptive comments of our reviewers, especially our shepherd Hank Levy. We thank Randy Katz and Eric Anderson for their detailed readings of early drafts of this paper, and David Culler for his ideas on TACC's potential as a model for cluster programming. Ken Lutz and Eric Fraser configured and administered the test network on which the TranSend scaling experiments were performed. Cliff Frost of the UC Berkeley Data Communications and Networks Services group allowed us to collect traces on the Berkeley dialup IP network and has worked with us to deploy and promote TranSend within Berkeley. Undergraduate researchers Anthony Polito, Benjamin Ling, and Andrew Huang implemented various parts of TranSend's user profile database and user interface. Ian Goldberg and David Wagner helped us debug TranSend, especially through their implementation of the rewebber

FP-tree-based mining adopts a pattern-fragment growth method to avoid the costly generation of a large number of candidate sets, and (3) a partitioning-based, divide-and-conquer method is used to decompose the mining task into a set of smaller tasks for mining confined patterns in conditional

architecture. In order to identify those aspects of the Web that needed improvement and avoid undesirable modifications, a model for the modern Web architecture was needed to guide its design, definition, and deployment. Software architecture research investigates methods for determining how best to partition

This paper presents Scribe, a scalable application-level multicast infrastructure. Scribe supports large numbers of groups, with a potentially large number of members per group. Scribe is built on top of Pastry, a generic peer-to-peer object location and routing substrate overlayed on the Internet

We present Tapestry, a peer-to-peer overlay routing infrastructure offering efficient, scalable, locationindependent routing of messages directly to nearby copies of an object or service using only localized resources. Tapestry supports a generic Decentralized Object Location and Routing (DOLR) API

We describe a new scalable application-layer multicast protocol, specifically designed for low-bandwidth, data streaming applications with large receiver sets. Our scheme is based upon a hierarchical clustering of the application-layer multicast peers and can support a number of different data

Many emerging applications (e.g., teleconference, real-time information services, pay per view, distributed interactive simulation, and collaborative work) are based upon a group communications model, i.e., they require packet delivery from one or more authorized senders to a very large number

The highly successful architecture and protocols of today’s Internet may operate poorly in environments characterized by very long delay paths and frequent network partitions. These problems are exacerbated by end nodes with limited power or memory resources. Often deployed in mobile and extreme

, scalability, and customizability. To address these issues, researchers are investigating a variety of innovative approaches. The most promising and intriguing ones are those based on the ability of moving code across the nodes of a network, exploiting the notion of mobile code. As an emerging research field
