We design an algorithm, called the fluid synchronization algorithm (FSA), for the job shop scheduling problem with the objective of minimizing the makespan. We round an optimal sol...
In this paper, we address the server selection problem for streaming applications on the Internet. The architecture we consider is similar to the content distribution networks con...
TCP congestion control 9] is designed for network stability, robustness and opportunistic use of network bu er and bandwidth resources on an end-to-end per-connection basis. Upon ...
We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
: We address the question of how to communicate among distributed processes values such as real numbers, continuous functions and geometrical solids with arbitrary precision, yet e...
