System builders are becoming increasingly interested in robust design. We believe that a methodology for generating robustness metrics will help the robust design research efforts...
We investigate the circumstances under which it is possible to discourage free-riding in a peer-to-peer system for resource-sharing by prioritizing resource allocation to peers wi...

— Measuring real-time end-to-end network path performance metrics is important for several distributed applications such as media streaming systems (e.g., for switching to paths ...
Nowadays, systems often integrate a variety of applications whose service requirements are heterogeneous. Consequently, systems must be able to concurrently serve applications whi...
The idle computers on a local area, campus area, or even wide area network represent a significant computational resource--one that is, however, also unreliable, heterogeneous, an...
