We identify here various kinds of failure conditions and robustness issues that arise in context-aware pervasive computing applications. Such conditions are related to failures in...
We consider a parallel server system that consists of several customer classes and server pools in parallel. We propose a simple robust control policy to minimize the total linear...
Dynamic, heterogenous and distributively owned resource environments present unique challenges to the problems of resource representation, allocation and management. Conventional ...
Data sources, storage, computing resources and services are entities on Grids that require mechanisms for publication and lookup. A discovery service relies on efficient lookup to...
Network Control is currently carried out mainly by means of signalling protocols. Although these protocols are robust and facilitate standardisation, they present several drawback...
