This paper deals with the performance of delay-sensitive applications running over a network that offers multiple classes of service, where the adaption of application rates in re...
Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a promising architecture for the next generation Internet due to its scalable and flexible design. In DiffServ, scheduling disciplines play an...
—We study two convex optimization problems in a multi-class M/G/1 queue with adjustable service rates: minimizing convex functions of the average delay vector, and minimizing ave...
To maintain consistency, designers of replicated services have traditionally been forced to choose from either strong consistency guarantees or none at all. Realizing that a conti...
— Grid computing requires network services beyond what is currently provided by the Best-Effort Internet. Among the different approaches towards network Quality of Service, aggre...
