Modeling communications in wireless networks is a challenging task since it asks for a simple mathematical object on which efficient algorithms can be designed, but that must also...
We consider the problem of building a P2P-based search engine for massive document collections. We describe a prototype system called ODISSEA (Open DIStributed Search Engine Archi...
Cross-traffic data rate over the tight link of a path can be estimated using different active probing packet dispersion techniques. Many of these techniques send large amounts of p...
Designing highly dependable systems requires a good understanding of failure characteristics. Unfortunately, little raw data on failures in large IT installations is publicly avai...
Practical crossbar scheduling algorithms for CIOQ switches such as PIM and ¢ -SLIP, can perform poorly under extreme traffic conditions, frequently failing to be workconserving....
