Abstract— Fluctuations in network conditions are a common phenomenon. They arise in the current wired Internet due to changes in demand, and in wireless networks due to changing ...
Many non-cooperative settings that could potentially be studied using game theory are characterized by having very large strategy spaces and payoffs that are costly to compute. Be...
Computing and storing probabilities is a hard problem as soon as one has to deal with complex distributions over multiples random variables. The problem of efficient representati...
We describe methods of identifying and exploiting sharing patterns in multi-threaded DSM applications. Active correlation tracking is used to determine the affinity, or amount of ...
The design of secure buffer managers for database systems supporting real-time applications with firm deadlines is studied here. We first identify the design challenges and then p...
