DiffServ networks support three forwarding classes: EF, AF and BE. Scheduling algorithms based on priority queueing such as Cisco LLQ and MDRR seem to be a natural choice to provi...
A number of new network storage architectures have emerged recently that provide shared, adaptable and high-performance storage systems for dataintensive applications. Three commo...
A simple, tunable, synthetic benchmark with a performance directly related to applications would be of great benefit to the scientific computing community. In this paper, we prese...
Large archival storage systems experience long periods of idleness broken up by rare data accesses. In such systems, disks may remain powered off for long periods of time. These s...

In this paper, a modified version of the IEEE 802.11a protocol is proposed and evaluated. We combine MultiCarrier Code Division Multiple Access (MC-CDMA), a novel, high capacity m...
The accurate and efficient modeling of Internet worms is a particularly challenging task for network simulation tools. The atypical and aggressive behavior of these worms can easi...
This study introduces a new analytic queuing model, the N-Burst/G/1 model with heavy-tailed service-time distribution, which captures many of the issues that affect Web servers as...
The prominent role of the memory hierarchy as one of the major bottlenecks in achieving good program performance has motivated the search for ways of capturing the memory performa...
