This paper focuses on two problems related to QoS-aware I/O server placement in hierarchical Grid environments. Given a hierarchical network with requests from clients, the network...
One major factor that heavily affects the performance of a content distribution network (CDN) is placement of the surrogates. Previous works take a network-centric approach and con...
This paper presents a distributed middleware architecture based on a service-oriented approach, to manage high volume sensor events. Event management takes a multi-step operation f...
We introduce SIDE (the acronym stands for Sensors In a Distributed Environment)—a software package for developing control programs for reactive systems. One distinctive feature ...
We propose a probabilistic network model, called asynchronous bounded expected delay (ABE), which requires a known bound on the expected message delay. In ABE networks all asynchr...
