Motivated by service levels in terms of the waiting-time distribution seen in e.g. call centers, we consider two models for systems with a service discipline that depends on the w...
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...
Grid systems integrate distributed resources to form self-organization and self-management autonomies. Recently, for large-scale computation requirement, the collaboration of diffe...
We investigate a transactional memory runtime system providing scaling and strong consistency for generic C++ and SQL applications on commodity clusters. We introduce a novel page...
