With the lack of admission control and resource reservation mechanisms in the Internet, overload situations can only be avoided by having the end systems deploying congestion cont...
ÐWe study the quality of service (QoS) of failure detectors. By QoS, we mean a specification that quantifies 1) how fast the failure detector detects actual failures and 2) how we...
With increasing chip densities, future microprocessor designs have the opportunity to integrate many of the traditional systemlevel modules onto the same chip as the processor. So...
Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow two or more parties to communicate securely over a public network. Using cryptographic algorithms and protocols, VPNs provide security servic...
In portable applications, the energy consumed by OS and application tasks primarily comes from DC battery source, which is limited and imposes an upper bound to the amount of time...
