Location-based services are increasingly popular and it is a key challenge to efficiently support query processing. We present a novel design to process large numbers of location...
This paper studies the QoS-aware replica placement problem. Although there has been much work on replica placement problem, most of them concerns average system performance and ign...
—Equilibria computation is of great importance to many areas such as economics, control theory, and recently computer science. We focus on the computation of Nash equilibria in t...
IT today is driven by the trend of increasing scale and complexity. Utility and Grid computing models, PlanetLab, and traditional data centers, are reaching the scale of thousands...
In this paper, we present an efficient procedure for building a piecewise linear function approximation of the speed function of a processor with hierarchical memory structure. Th...
