In this paper we consider the distributed simulation of queueing networks of FCFS servers with infinite buffers, and irreducible Markovian routing. We first show that for either t...
Two protocols for scheduling variable-length packet transmissions in an optical passive star network using wavelength division multiplexing WDM are speci ed and analyzed. These pr...
Given the increasing traffic on the World Wide Web (Web), it is difficult for a single popular Web server to handle the demand from its many clients. By clustering a group of Web ...
A k-hop dominating set is a subset of nodes such that each node not in the set can be reached within k hops from at least one node in the set. A connected k-hop dominating set can ...
This paper introduces the Sigma algorithm that solves fault-tolerant mutual exclusion problem in dynamic systems where the set of processes may be large and change dynamically, pr...
