Modeling communications in wireless networks is a challenging task since it asks for a simple mathematical object on which efficient algorithms can be designed, but that must also...
Network of workstation (NOW) is a cost-effective alternative to massively parallel supercomputers. As commercially available off-the-shelf processors become cheaper and faster, ...
Abstract. We study the management of buffers and storages in environments with unpredictably varying prices in a competitive analysis. In the economical caching problem, there is ...
