Abstract. Aggregation is an important building block of modern distributed applications, allowing the determination of meaningful properties (e.g. network size, total storage capac...
We develop a framework to study differentiated services when there are competing network providers. We adopt a multi-class queueing model, where providers post prices for various s...
Abstract Queueing Petri nets are a powerful formalism that can be exploited for modeling distributed systems and analyzing their performance and scalability. By combining the model...
We introduce Topobo, a 3D constructive assembly system embedded with kinetic memory, the ability to record and playback physical motion. Unique among modeling systems is Topoboʼs...
In this paper, we present an unstructured peer-to-peer network called GridMedia for live media streaming employing a push-pull approach. Each node in GridMedia randomly selects it...
