It is a challenging task to provide Quality of Service (QoS) control for a shared high-speed downlink packet access (HSDPA) wireless channel. In this paper, we first propose a ne...
We consider wireless LANs such as IEEE 802.11 operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum. While their nominal bit rates have increased considerably, the MAC layer remains practica...

Abstract—Using MPI as communication interface, one or several applications may introduce complex communication behaviors over the network cluster. This effect is increased when n...
It is well established that bitmap indices are efficient for read-only attributes with low attribute cardinalities. For an attribute with a high cardinality, the size of the bitma...
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...
