File downloads make up a large percentage of the Internet traffic to satisfy various clients using distributed environments for their Cloud, Grid and Internet applications. In particular, the Cloud has become a popular data storage provider and users (individuals and corporates) are relying heavily on it to keep their data. Furthermore, most cloud data servers replicate their data storage infrastructures...
The Internet of Things (IoT) aims to interconnect our everyday life items. It provides them with information processing capabilities to enable computers to sense, integrate, present, and react to all aspects of the physical world. This move from “interconnected computers” to “interconnected things” requires simplifying the development of new applications and services by supporting interoperability...
Several approaches for load balancing in distributed systems were introduced, however, most of them require prior knowledge of the environments operation conditions and/or constant monitoring of these conditions at run time. That allows the applications to adjust the load and redistribute the tasks when necessary. These techniques were designed with the assumption that there is no high communication...
This paper proposes a fast and efficient concurrent technique for downloading large files from replicated FTP servers available over the Internet, Cloud and Grid environments. This technique utilizes the availability of replicated FTP servers to enhance file download times through concurrent downloads of file blocks. As this technique enhances the download time, it imposes no extra communication and...
