We consider cluster systems with multiple nodes where each server is prone to run tasks at a degraded level of service due to some software or hardware fault. The cluster serves t...
Abstract: Broadcast data dissemination is well-suited for mobile wireless environments, where bandwidth is scarce, and mutual interference must be minimized. However, broadcasting ...
Web services are an emerging technology that provides a flexible platform for web interaction. We evaluate Web service performance of handheld resource-constrained clients using d...
