Distributed real-time applications usually consist of several component tasks and must be completed by its end-to-end (E-T-E) deadline. As long as the E-T-E deadline of an applicat...
This paper proposes a new method for programming and controlling distributed tasks. Applications declare behavior patterns that are used to automatically predict and reserve resou...
The existing literature on optimal auctions focuses on optimizing the expected revenue of the seller, and is appropriate for risk-neutral sellers. In this paper, we identify good ...
Requirements from new types of applications call for new database system solutions. Computational science applications performing distributed computations on Grid networks with req...
A novel approach to quality of service control in an active service network (application layer active network) is described. The approach makes use of a distributed genetic algori...
