We consider the problem of diagnosing performance problems in distributed system and networks given end-to-end performance measurements provided by test transactions, or probes. C...
Web services have been widely employed to allow interoperability among applications and/or technologies. However, the standard technologies and protocols which provide the foundat...
This paper studies the problem of maximizing the number of correct results of dependent tasks computed unreliably. We consider a distributed system composed of a reliable server th...
Uncertainty is a key issue in decision analysis and other kinds of applications. Researchers have developed a number of approaches to address computations on uncertain quantities....
