In this paper, we propose using the network-attached disk (NAD) architecture to design highly scalable and cost-effective multimedia-on-demand (MOD) servers. In order to ensure en...
In the classical load balancing or multiprocessor scheduling problem, we are given a sequence of jobs of varying sizes and are asked to assign each job to one of the m empty proce...
Abstract. We consider the problem of multihop broadcast over adaptively duty-cycled wireless sensor networks (WSNs) where neighborhood nodes are not simultaneously awake. We presen...
Execution behavior of a Java application can be nondeterministic due to concurrent threads of execution, thread scheduling, and variable network delays. This nondeterminism in Jav...
Brewer and Kuszmaul [BK94] demonstrated how barriers and traffic interleaving can alleviate the problem of bulk-transfer performance degradation on the Thinking Machines CM-5, by ...
