Joins are essential for many data analysis tasks, but are not supported directly by the MapReduce paradigm. While there has been progress on equi-joins, implementation of join alg...
In this paper, we consider a non-saturated IEEE 802.11 based wireless network. We use a three-way fixed point to model the node behavior with Bernoulli packet arrivals and determi...
In this paper we determine the optimal fraction c of the uplink channel capacity that should be dedicated to the contention channel in a DOCSIS cable network in order to minimize ...
Abstract. We demonstratehow the use of synchronizationprimitives and threading policies in distributed object middleware can lead to deadlocks. We identify that objectmiddleware on...
This paper focuses on load management in looselycoupled federated distributed systems. We present a distributed mechanism for moving load between autonomous participants using bil...
