In this work, we propose a method for using simulation to analyze the robustness of multiparty (multicastbased) protocols in a systematic fashion. We call our method Systematic Te...
Self-managing systems able to dynamically re-configure with respect to time-varying workload mixes and changing system resource availability are of growing importance in heterogen...

We review the DEVS modeling and simulation framework Its fundamental concepts are discussed from the standpoint of discrete event information processing with an example drawn from...
This paper is motivated by a simple question: what are the energy consumption characteristics of mobile storage alternatives? To answer this question, we are faced with a design s...

— This paper introduces a new benchmark tool, SPEK (Storage Performance Evaluation Kernel module), for evaluating the performance of block-level storage systems in the presence o...
Disk drive manufacturers are putting increasingly larger built-in caches into disk drives. Today, 2 MB buffers are common on low-end retail IDE/ATA drives, and some SCSI drives ar...
All enterprise storage systems depend on disk arrays to satisfy their capacity, reliability, and availability requirements. Performance models of disk arrays are useful in underst...
