The implementation of bounded-delay services over integrated services networks relies admission control mechanisms that in turn use end-to-end delay computation algorithms. For gu...
Music thumbnailing (or music summarization) aims at finding the most representative part of a song, which can be used for web browsing, web searching and music recommendation. Thr...
Scalability is a crucial factor in performance evaluation and analysis of parallel and distributed systems. Much effort has been devoted to scalability research and several metric...
Many large scale systems, like grids and structured peer to peer systems, operate on a constrained topology. Since underlying networks do not expose the real topology to the appli...
In a Distributed Database System (DDBS), transactions on objects can be read requests or write requests in a random manner. The replication algorithm of objects critically affects...
