This paper analyzes opportunistic schemes for transmission scheduling from one of n homogeneous queues whose channel states fluctuate independently. Considered schemes consist of ...
We identify crucial design issues in building a distributed inverted index for a large collection of web pages. We introduce a novel pipelining technique for structuring the core ...
Over recent years, "Internet-able" applications have been used to support domains where distributed functionality is essential. This flexibility is also pertinent in situ...
Time triggered methods provide deterministic behaviour suitable for critical real-time systems. They perform less favourably, however, if the arrival times of some activities are ...
Orphan requests are a significant problem for multi-tier distributed systems since they adversely impact system correctness by violating the exactly-once semantics of application...
