Performance non-determinism in computer systems complicates evaluation, use, and even development of these systems. In performance evaluation via benchmarking and simulation, nond...
In this paper we develop, implement and evaluate an approach to quickly reassign resources for a virtualized utility computing platform. The approach provides this platform agilit...

We present Virtual High-resolution Time (VHT), a powerproportional time-keeping service that offers a baseline power draw of a low-speed clock (e.g. 32 kHz crystal), but provides...
A key problem in sensor networks is to decide which sensors to query when, in order to obtain the most useful information (e.g., for performing accurate prediction), subject to co...
