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...
Current methods cannot synthesize real-time embedded software applications when the global deadline of a task is shorter than the total of all local deadlines along a critical pat...
— High power dissipation in packet switches and routers is fast turning into a key problem, owing to increasing line speeds and decreasing chip sizes. To address this issue, we i...
Upgrading the software of long-lived distributed systems is difficult. It is not possible to upgrade all the nodes in a system at once, since some nodes may be down and halting t...
We show that CSMA is able to spontaneously synchronize transmissions in a wireless network with constant-size packets, and that this property can be used to devise efficient synch...
