Abstract. The subject of this paper is nding small sample spaces for joint distributions of n discrete random variables. Such distributions are often only required to obey a certa...
Canonical problems are simplified representations of a class of real world problems. They allow researchers to compare algorithms in a standard setting which captures the most im...
Using a single traditional gang scheduling algorithm cannot provide the best performance for all workloads and parallel architectures. A solution for this problem is the use of...
—Peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution is a scalable way to disseminate content to a wide audience. For a P2P network, one fundamental performance metric is the average time need...
Load balancing is a critical issue for the efficient operation of peerto-peer networks. We give two new load-balancing protocols whose provable performance guarantees are within a...
