— Internet traffic is bursty and network servers are often overloaded with surprising events or abnormal client request patterns. This paper studies scheduling algorithms for in...
— Peer-to-peer (P2P) systems are becoming a popular means of streaming audio and video content but they are prone to bandwidth starvation if selfish peers do not contribute band...
Distributed hard real-time systems require guaranteed communication. One common approach is to restrict network access by enforcing a time-division multiple access (TDMA) schedule...
— Recent advances in microelectronic technology have made it possible to construct compact and inexpensive wireless sensors. Sensor networks have received significant attention ...
We propose and evaluate a novel framework for enforcing global coordination and control policies over interacting software components in enterprise computing environments. This fra...
