Computer system designers often evaluate future design alternatives with detailed simulators that strive for functional fidelity (to execute relevant workloads) and performance fi...
We consider a communication network with fixed routing that can accommodate multiple service classes, differing in bandwidth requirements, demand pattern, call duration, and routin...
Early phases of software development are known to be problematic, difficult to manage and errors occurring during these phases are expensive to correct. Many systems have been deve...
Continued advances in mobile networks and positioning technologies have created a strong market push for location-based applications. Examples include location-aware emergency resp...
Abstract: This paper addresses the problem of expressing preferences among nonfunctional properties of services in a Web service architecture. In such a context, semantic and non-f...
