We study the feasibility and cost of implementing --a fundamental failure detector at the core of many algorithms--in systems with weak reliability and synchrony assumptions. Intui...
The Internet Distance Map Service (IDMaps) [3] provides distance estimates between any pair of hosts connected to the Internet. The IDMaps system comprises two component types: Tr...
Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) are distributed systems whose main goal is to collect and deliver data to applications. This paper proposes a reflective, service-oriented middlewa...
In the area of Grid computing, there is a growing need to process large amounts of data. To support this trend, we need to develop efficient parallel storage systems that can prov...
Abstract— Admission control algorithms used in access networks for multiplexed voice sources are typically based on aggregated system characteristics, such as aggregate loss prob...
