Abstract. We study the problem of dynamic load-balancing on hierarchical platforms. In particular, we consider applications involving heavy communications on a distributed platform...
In this paper, we explore the use of digital photographs in computer-mediated communication. We present Lascaux, an instant messaging client that serves as a research platform for...
—Network calculus is a recently developed theory dealing with queuing systems found in computer networks with focus on service guarantee analysis. In the current network calculus...
Performance characteristics, such as response time, throughput and scalability, are key quality attributes of distributed applications. Current practice, however, rarely applies s...
— We have developed an analysis-based design tool, ANDES, for modeling a wireless sensor network system and analyzing its performance before deployment. ANDES enables designers t...
