In this article, we present a novel discrete-time Markov chain model of book-ahead bandwidthsharing mechanisms. We use this analytical model and a simulation model to understand t...
With the rapid performance improvements in low-cost PCs, it becomes increasingly practical and cost-effective to implement large-scale video-on-demand (VoD) systems around parallel...
VOD services require the storage system support with multiple disks. SCSI-based systems are usual choices. However, disks can be attached directly to networks these days. Fiber Ch...
In this paper we attempt to parallelise a commodity database for OLAP on a cluster of commodity PCs by using a distributed high-performance storage subsystem. By parallelising the...
— In this work we develop Markovian models to study the dynamics of elastic calls in a cell served by HSDPA and WiMAX systems. We first present analytical models for interferenc...
