In this paper, we introduce and explore a new computing paradigm we call knowledge as a service, in which a knowledge service provider, via its knowledge server, answers queries p...
This paper analyzes a single server queueing system in which service is alternated between two queues and the server requires a (finite) switchover time to switch from one queue ...
— We propose a new scheme for content distribution of large files that is based on network coding. With network coding, each node of the distribution network is able to generate...
In distributed computing systems, it is unwise to move data to the point of program code, but instead process data at the point of storage. This concept is even more appropriate t...
Due to the mobility of nodes in Ad hoc networks, network topology is dynamic and unpredictable, which leads to frequent network partitioning. This partitioning disconnects many no...
