—Quality-of-service (QoS) management often requires a continuous monitoring service to provide updated information about different hosts and network links in the managed system. ...
Abstract—Cloud systems provide a cost-effective service hosting infrastructure for application service providers (ASPs). However, cloud systems are often shared by multiple tenan...
In this paper, we address the problem of providing a service broker, which offers to prospective users a composite service with a range of different Quality of Service (QoS) class...

— We present an approach to optimizing the transfer of data objects within a user’s collection of computers and personal devices, subject to a variety of user-defined quality ...
Many task-based programming models have been developed and refined in recent years to support application development for shared memory platforms. Asynchronous tasks are a powerfu...

We propose a new memory model called short-term memory for managing objects on the heap. In contrast to the traditional persistent memory model for heap management, objects in sho...

In a parallel, shared-memory, language with a garbage collected heap, it is desirable for each processor to perform minor garbage collections independently. Although obvious, it i...
Multiprocessors based on processors with multiple cores usually include a non-uniform memory architecture (NUMA); even current 2-processor systems with 8 cores exhibit non-uniform...
To achieve optimal performance, garbage-collected applications must balance the sizes of their heaps dynamically. Sizing the heap too small can reduce throughput by increasing the...

At the heart of all garbage collectors lies the process of identifying and processing reference fields within an object. Despite its key role, and evidence of many different impl...
