Sharing huge, massively distributed databases in P2P systems is inherently difficult. As the amount of stored data increases, data localization techniques become no longer suffi...

We investigate an optimal scheduling problem in a discrete-time system of L parallel queues that are served by K identical servers. This model has been widely used in studies of em...

We study large-scale service systems with multiple customer classes and many statistically identical servers. The following question is addressed: How many servers are required (s...
An important and unsolved problem today is the automatic quantification of the quality of video flows transmitted over packet networks. In particular, the ability to perform this ...
It was shown recently [7?9], under quite general conditions, that retransmission-based protocols may result in power-law delays and possibly zero throughput even if the distributi...
