Although recent advances in theory indicate that burstiness in the service time process can be handled effectively by queueing models (e.g., MAP queueing networks [2]), there is a...
Computation off-loading, i.e., remote execution, has been shown to be effective for extending the computational power and battery life of resource-restricted devices, e.g., hand-h...
While ATM bandwidth-reservation techniques are able to o er the guarantees necessary for the delivery of real-time streams in many applications (e.g. live audio and video), they s...
Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) are envisaged to extend Internet access and other networking services in personal, local, campus, and metropolitan areas. Mesh routers (MR) form the c...
Abstract-RSVP has been designed to support resource reservation in the Internet. However, it has two major problems: complexity and scalability. The former results in large message...
