In cluster-based storage systems, the metadata server cluster must be able to adaptively distribute responsibility for metadata to maintain high system performance and long-term l...
Load balancing is a critical issue for the efficient operation of peerto-peer networks. We give two new load-balancing protocols whose provable performance guarantees are within a...
—One key adaptation mechanism often deployed in networking and computing systems is dynamic load balancing. The goal from employing dynamic load balancers is to ensure that the o...

—In the routing and cost sharing of multicast towards a group of potential receivers, cross-monotonicity is a property that states a user’s payment can only be smaller when ser...
— We present a crosslayer framework for optimizing the performance of wireless networks as measured by applications or upper layer protocols. The approach combines adaptive modul...
