The POEMS project is creating an environment for end-to-end performance modeling of complex parallel and distributed systems, spanning the domains of application software, runti...
A packet scheduler in a quality-of-service QoS network should be sophisticated enough to support stringent QoS constraints at high loads, but it must also have a simple implemen...
We consider the supervised learning of a binary classifier from noisy observations. We use smooth boosting to linearly combine abstaining hypotheses, each of which maps a subcube...
Clusters of computers have emerged as mainstream parallel and distributed platforms for high-performance, highthroughput and high-availability computing. To enable effective resou...
A wireless sensor network (WSN) is envisioned as a cluster of tiny power-constrained devices with functions of sensing and communications. Sensors closer to a sink node have a larg...
