This paper describes a novel approach to performance analysis for parallel and distributed systems that is based on soft computing. We introduce the concept of performance score re...
Ubiquitous systems are characterized by multi-fold complexity, stemming mainly from the vast number of possible interactions between many heterogeneous objects and services. Device...

In this paper, we present a novel approach to automatically determine the positions of sensors and actuators in an ad-hoc distributed network of heterogeneous general purpose comp...
Rather than painful, manual, static, per-connection optimization of TCP buffer sizes simply to achieve acceptable performance for distributed applications [8, 10], many researcher...
