Motivated by service levels in terms of the waiting-time distribution seen in e.g. call centers, we consider two models for systems with a service discipline that depends on the w...
A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different sites...
In a Linux cluster, as in any multi-processor system, the inter-processor communication rate is the major limiting factor to its general usefulness. This research is geared toward...
We address distributed real-time applications represented by systems of non-preemptive dependent periodic tasks. This system is described by an acyclic directed graph. Because the...
Abstract As distributed, networked computing systems become the dominant computing platform in a growing range of applications, they increase opportunities for security violations ...
