We present fault localization techniques suitable for diagnosing end-to-end service problems in communication systems with complex topologies. We refine a layered system model th...
Citing recent successes in forecasting elections, movies, products, and other outcomes, prediction market advocates call for widespread use of market-based methods for government ...

Workstation clusters are becoming an interesting alternative to dedicated multiprocessors. In this environment, the probability of a failure, during an application's executio...
Importance Sampling is a potentially powerful variance reduction technique to speed up simulations where the objective depends on the occurrence of rare events. However, it is cru...
