We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
Fine-Grained Cycle Sharing (FGCS) systems aim at utilizing the large amount of idle computational resources available on the Internet. Such systems allow guest jobs to run on a ho...
Abstract - Overlay multicast, which performs topology construction and data relaying in the application layer, has recently emerged as a promising vehicle for data distribution. In...
eb services are becoming widely deployed to implement the automation of business processes such as supply chain management, inventory tracking, and healthcare management, just to ...
— Consider a generic data unit of random size L that needs to be transmitted over a channel of unit capacity. The channel dynamics is modeled as an on-off process {(Ai, Ui)}i≥1...
