We present a design for policy-based performance management of SMS Systems. The design takes as input the operator’s performance goals, which are expressed as policies that can b...
The paper presents distributed and parallel -approximation algorithms for covering problems, where is the maximum number of variables on which any constraint depends (for example...
In this paper we propose a multicast-on-large-demand (MOLD) approach to the flash crowd problem. A MOLD Web server may dynamically open a multicast channel for resources when dete...
Object-oriented frameworks support design and code reuse for specific application domains. To facilitate the development of evolutionary computation (EC) programs, such as geneti...
