This paper argues that simply applying a multipletree scheme does not provide sufficient fairness for applications in an Internet-scale distributed system, in terms of performance...
—The distributed nature of the CSMA/CA based wireless protocols, e.g., the IEEE 802.11 distributed coordinated function (DCF), allows malicious nodes to deliberately manipulate t...
In this paper we build upon the recent observation that the 802.11 rate region is log-convex and, for the first time, characterise max-min fair rate allocations for a large class o...
Fairness is a major issue in the operation of queues, perhaps it is the reason why queues were formed in the first place. Recent studies show that the fairness of a queueing syst...
We explore asynchronous unison in the presence of systemic transient and permanent Byzantine faults in shared memory. We observe that the problem is not solvable under less than s...
