Desktop Grid Computing presents common techniques used in numerous models, algorithms, and tools developed during the last decade to implement desktop grid computing. These techniques enable the solution of many important sub-problems for middleware design, including scheduling, data management, security, load balancing, result certification, and fault tolerance. The book's first part covers the initial ideas and basic concepts of desktop grid computing. The second part explores challenging current and future problems. Each chapter presents the sub-problems, discusses theoretical and practical issues, offers details about implementation and experiments, and includes references to further reading and notes. One of the first books to give a thorough and up-to-date presentation of this topic, this resource describes various approaches and models as well as recent trends that underline the evolution of desktop grids. It balances the theory of designing desktop grid middleware and architecture with applications and real-world deployment on large-scale platforms.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 18th IFIP WG 10.3 International Conference on Network and Parallel Computing, NPC 2021, which was held in Paris, France during November 3-5, 2021.The 20 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 62 submissions. They were organized in topical sections as follows: algorithms and applications; system software and resource management; storage; and networks and communications.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 5th International Conference on the Internet of Vehicles, IOV 2018, which took place in Paris, France, in November 2018. This year's theme was "Technologies and Services Towards Smart City". The 21 papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 41 submissions. The papers are organized in topical sections named: IoV communications and networking; IoV clouds and services; vehicular modeling and simulation; and vehicular security and privacy.
