Abstract. In this paper, we study the two-tiered wireless sensor network (WSN) architecture and propose the optimal cluster association algorithm for it to maximize the overall net...
Slowdown, defined as the ratio of a request’s queueing delay to its service time, is accepted as an important quality of service metric of Internet servers. In this paper, we i...

We propose a cluster-based web server where a few computing nodes are separately reserved for high-performance computing applications, such as multimedia, SSL, and CGI. As an exam...
Replication on geographically distributed, unreliable, P2P interconnecting nodes can offer high data availability and low network latency for replica access. The challenge is how ...
OLAP queries are typically heavy-weight and ad-hoc thus requiring high storage capacity and processing power. In this paper, we address this problem using a database cluster which...
