—As the need for embedded systems to interact with other systems is growing fast, we see great opportunities in introducing the hardware-in-the-loop technique to the field of ha...
As businesses continue to grow their World Wide Web presence, it is becoming increasingly vital for them to have quantitative measures of the client perceived response times of th...
This paper analyzes various algorithms for scheduling low priority disk drive tasks. The derived closed form solution is applicable to class of greedy algorithms that include a va...
Distributed databases operating over wide-area networks such as the Internet, must deal with the unpredictable nature of the performance of communication. The response times of acc...

The most common problem of an overloaded electronic-commerce server is an increase in the response time perceived by customers, who may restart their requests hoping to get a fast...
In distributed real-time systems, meeting the real-time constraints is mandatory but the satisfaction of other application-dependent criteria is most generally required as well. I...
With the number of e-Business applications dramatically increasing, a service level agreement (SLA) will play an important part in Web services. The SLA is a combination of severa...
As feature sizes shrink, transient failures of on-chip network links become a critical problem. At the same time, many applications require guarantees on both message arrival prob...
Motivated by the optimality of Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT) for mean response time, in recent years many computer systems have used the heuristic of "favoring sm...
Interactive configuration guides a user searching through a large combinatorial space of solutions to a system of constraints. We investigate a class of very expressive underlying...
