—Large scale production grids are a major case for autonomic computing. Following the classical definition of Kephart, an autonomic computing system should optimize its own beha...
We describe the implementation and experimental evaluation of a fault-tolerant leader election service for dynamic systems. Intuitively, distributed applications can use this serv...
Abstract—Proportional Fair (PF) is a frequently used channelaware scheduling algorithm in 3G wireless networks. However, recent work by us and others has shown that, in practice,...
— The current access point (AP) association schemes in wireless LANs, such as IEEE 802.11, cause an unbalanced load which reduces the performance of both the entire network and i...
Reputation mechanisms are a key technique to trust assessment in large-scale decentralized systems. The effectiveness of reputation-based trust management fundamentally relies on ...
