We consider an asynchronous all optical packet switch (OPS) where each link consists of N wavelength channels and a pool of C ≤ N full range tunable wavelength converters. Under...
Abstract. We consider asynchronous networks of finite-state systems communicating via a combination of reliable and lossy fifo channels. Depending on the topology, the reachability...
In completely symmetric systems that have homogeneous nodes (hosts, computers, or processors) with identical arrival processes, an optimal static load balancing scheme does not in...
Abstract. For large distributed systems built from inexpensive components, one expects to see incessant failures. This paper proposes two models for such faults and analyzes two we...
