As the use of virtual machines (VMs) for scientific applications becomes more common, we encounter the need to integrate VM provisioning models into the existing resource managemen...
Network applications require a certain level of network performance for their proper operation. These individual guarantees can be provided if su cient amounts of network resource...
Abstract In this paper, we consider the problem of scheduling divisible loads onto an heterogeneous star platform, with both heterogeneous computing and communication resources. We...
-- In this paper we analyze P2P live streaming systems. Through this analysis we obtain the crucial parameters for their performance in terms of bandwidth utilization, set-up time,...
While sophisticated neural networks and graphical models have been developed for predicting conditional probabilities in a non-stationary environment, major improvements in the tr...
