Today’s data centers face extreme challenges in providing low latency. However, fair sharing, a principle commonly adopted in current congestion control protocols, is far from o...
Abstract— An important application of wireless sensor networks is to perform the monitoring missions, for example, to monitor some targets of interests at all times. Sensors are ...

We consider the scheduling of a sporadic real-time task system on an identical multiprocessor. Though Pfair algorithms are theoretically optimal for such task systems, in practice...
