Image retrieval has become an interesting and active field due to the increasing necessity of searching and browsing very large image repositories. Images are represented using s...
Internet coordinate systems have emerged as an efficient method to estimate the latency between pairs of nodes without any communication between them. However, most coordinate sy...
Since web workloads are known to vary dynamically with time, in this paper, we argue that dynamic resource allocation techniques are necessary to provide guarantees to web applicat...
We introduce a disaster simulation system that supports collaborative planning of disaster measures. While several simulation tools are available for examination and evaluation of...
A framework to assess transient performance measures is introduced by generalizing the theory of the quasi Birthand-Death (QBD) paradigm to QBDs with marked time epochs (QBDm ). T...
