We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
Quality control and resource optimization are challenging problems in peer-assisted video streaming systems, due to their large scales and unreliable peer behavior. Such systems a...
—Despite many technology advances, the limited computing power of sensors encumber them from taking part in service-oriented architectures. In recent years, the sensornetworking ...
In this paper, we analyze a wireless LAN hot-spot, based on the IEEE 802.11b protocol, and more specifically we address the issue of defining proper pricing strategies, from bot...
