In the ever increasing world of distributed systems, different middleware implementations can be compared qualitatively or quantitatively. Existing evaluation techniques are often...
This paper presents an accurate stochastic model for transfer latency of short-lived Web-like TCP flows with random packet losses. Our model characterizes a data transfer in alter...
Grid computing is the future computing paradigm for enterprise applications. An enterprise application running on a grid is composed of a set of SLA-constrained sub-tasks demandin...
Several models of deterministic routing have been proposed for wormhole-routed mesh networks while there is only one model, to our best knowledge, proposed for fully adaptive worm...
