Uncontrolled overload can lead e-commerce applications to considerable revenue losses. For this reason, overload prevention in these applications is a critical issue. In this pape...
We establish a new worst-case upper bound on the Membership problem: We present a simple algorithm that is able to always achieve Agreement on Views within a single message latenc...
We address in this paper the problem of scheduling for multiprocessor real-time systems with hard and soft tasks. Utility functions are associated to soft tasks to capture their r...
In prior work on multiprocessor fairness, efficient techniques with provable properties for reallocating spare processing capacity have been elusive. In this paper, we address thi...
Power gating has been a very effective way to reduce leakage power. One important design issue for a power gating design is to limit the surge current during the wakeup process. N...
