Three protocols for gossip-based failure detection services in large-scale heterogeneous clusters are analyzed and compared. The basic gossip protocol provides a means by which fai...
Facility layouts of existing or proposed production systems often form the basis of a dynamic simulation study to prove the design concept and to determine if the required through...
The Web proxy cache placement problem is often formulated as a classical optimization problem: place N proxies within an internetwork so as to minimize the average user response t...
Networks of sensors and simulation models of the physical environment have been implemented separately, often using agent-based methodologies. Some work has been done in providing...
Analysis of network traffic indicates that packet arrival processes have significant stochastic dependence. It has been suggested that this dependence is so strong as to be wellmo...
