We show how to build hierarchical, reduced-rank representation for large stochastic matrices and use this representation to design an efficient algorithm for computing the largest...
Reducing management costs and improving the availability of large-scale distributed systems require automatic replica regeneration, i.e., creating new replicas in response to repl...
Embedded Systems are components integrating software and hardware jointly and specifically designed to provide given functionalities. These components may be used in many different...
IEEE 802.11, the standard of wireless local area networks (WLANs), allows the coexistence of asynchronous and time-bounded traffic using the distributed coordination function (DCF)...
Resource allocation is a key problem in autonomic computing. In this paper we use a data center scenario to motivate the need for decentralization and cooperative negotiation, and...
