Two important performance metrics in collaborative systems are local and remote response times. Previous analytical and simulation work has shown that these response times depend ...
The inability to perform optimizations based on application-specific information presents a hurdle to the deployment of pervasive LAN file systems across WAN environments. This pa...
We propose a model for Stochastic Hybrid Systems (SHSs) where transitions between discrete modes are triggered by stochastic events much like transitions between states of a contin...
Recently, we presented two very low-cost approaches to compile-time list scheduling where the tasks’ priorities are computed statically or dynamically, respectively. For homogen...
As computer networks rapidly increase in size and speed, Internet-distributed systems such as P2P, volunteer computing, and Grid systems are increasingly common. A precise and acc...
