Large-scale distributed real-time systems are increasingly difficult to analyze within the Rate Monotonic Analysis framework. This is due partly to their heterogeneity, complex i...
—This paper provides a queueing analysis for the slotted Aloha network. We assume the use of an exponential backoff protocol. Most prior work on slotted Aloha focuses on the anal...
The existence of good probabilistic models for the job arrival process and the delay components introduced at the different stages of job processing in a Grid environment is impor...
—In this paper we analyze the delay performance of a single user with perfect channel state information transmitting data over a wireless fading channel. We consider a dynamic re...
In the future, voice communication is expected to migrate from the public switched telephone network to the Internet. Because of the particular characteristics (low volume and bur...
