+Scalability in computer science is a large topic and is commonly divided
+ into sub-fields, two of which are structural scalability and load scalability.
+ These two issues are addressed in this thesis.
+ Structural scalability means expanding an architecture, e.g.
+ adding nodes to a system, without requiring modification of the system.
+ Load scalability means using the available resources in a way which allows
+ handling increasing load, e.g more users, gracefully.
