The Internet is central to our lives, but we know astoundingly little about it.
How big is the Internet? How reliable? How is it evolving over months?
How does it change over the course of a day?
Wireless communication is not only a key technology underlying the mobile revolution, it is also used to connect, monitor, alert, and interact with physical infrastructures such as smart-grids, transportation networks, and even implantable devices.
Seguir leyendo arrow_right_altWe consider online task computing environments such as volunteer computing platforms running on BOINC (e.g., SETI@home) and crowdsourcing platforms such as Amazon’s Mechanical Turk. We model the computations as an Internet-based task computing system under the master-worker paradigm. A master entity sends tasks across the Internet, to worker entities willing to perform a computational task.
