Abstract. We describe a group membership protocol, called the timewheel group membership protocol, for a timed asynchronous distributed system. This protocol is a part of the timew...
In recent years, the gossip-based communication model in large-scale distributed systems has become a general paradigm with important applications which include information dissemi...
— Traditional SLAs, defined by average delay or packet loss, often camouflage the instantaneous performance perceived by end-users. We define a set of metrics for service avai...
In this paper, we consider a data model for uncertain trajectories of moving objects. In our model, the trajectory is a vector of uniform stochastic processes. We study “univers...
Multipath fading heavily contributes to the unreliability of wireless links, causing fairly large deviations from link quality predictions based on path loss models; its impact on...
