This paper studies parallel job scheduling in a distributed system. A simulation model is used to address performance issues associated with scheduling. Five policies are used to ...
This paper analyses HPSS performance and, to a lesser extent, characterizes the SDSC HPSS workload, utilizing per-file transfer logs. The performance examined includes disk cache ...

In this paper, we propose two mechanisms, differentiation by backoff exponent and differentiation by the size of contention window, for IEEE 802.15.4 sensor networks to provide mul...
In this paper, an adaptive soft handoff algorithm, which dynamically calculates the threshold values for soft handoff based on the received signal strength, is proposed for mobile ...
In this work we explore how the complexity of a problem domain affects the performance of evolutionary search using a performance-based restart policy. Previous research indicates...
