In this paper we consider a multi-server queue with a near general arrival process (represented as an arbitrary state-dependent Coxian distribution), a near general state-dependent...
Abstract. Group communication is a programming abstraction that allows a distributed group of processes to provide a reliable service in spite of the possibility of failures within...
Abstract. The vision of Computational Grids promises an exciting future for the distributed simulation community. In this project we make a small but practical step toward the gran...
When orchestrating data-centric workflows as are commonly found in the sciences, centralised servers can become a bottleneck to the performance of a workflow; output from service i...
Current computing environments are becoming increasingly complex in nature and exhibit unpredictable workloads. These environments create challenges to the design of systems that c...
