— In sensor networks, MAC protocols based on Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) with wakeup and sleep periods have attracted considerable interest because of their low power co...
Conventional implementations of CORBA communication middleware incur significant overhead when used for performance-sensitive applications over high-speed networks. As gigabit ne...
Several different kinds of performance models can be generated from sets of scenarios that describe typical responses of a system, and their use of resources. The Core Scenario Mod...
This paper analyzes the performability of client-server applications that use a separate fault management architecture for monitoring and controlling of the status of the applicat...
Abstract Queueing Petri nets are a powerful formalism that can be exploited for modeling distributed systems and analyzing their performance and scalability. By combining the model...
