A number of industrial applications advocate the use of time-triggered approaches for reasons of predictability, distribution, and particular constraints such as jitter or end-to-...
Component failure in large-scale IT installations is becoming an ever larger problem as the number of components in a single cluster approaches a million. In this paper, we presen...
Burstiness and temporal dependence in service processes are often found in multi-tier architectures and storage devices and must be captured accurately in capacity planning models...
Abstract—Recently, distributed data storage has gained increasing popularity for efficient and robust data management in wireless sensor networks (WSNs). But the distributed arc...
We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
