Network calculus is a min-plus system theory which facilitates the efficient derivation of performance bounds for networks of queues. It has successfully been applied to provide e...
Accurate network modeling is critical to the design of network protocols. Traditional modeling approaches, such as Discrete Time Markov Chains (DTMC) are limited in their ability ...
Mobile ad hoc networks are characterized by multi-hop wireless links, absence of any cellular infrastructure, and frequent host mobility. Design of efficient routing protocols in ...
Response time is a key factor of any e-Commerce application, and a set of solutions have been proposed to provide low response time despite network congestions or failures. Being ...
This paper presents a novel method for optimizing sliding window based continuous queries. We deal with two categories of aggregation operations: stepwise aggregation (e.g. COUNT) ...
