This paper develops and evaluates new share-based scheduling algorithms for differentiated service quality in network services, such as network storage servers. This form of resou...
The impossibility of statically determining the behavior of complex systems that interact at runtime with heterogeneous devices and remote entities, may lead to unexpected system ...
This paper describes, and evaluates benefits of, a design methodology to translate certain mathematical models into the design of novel, self-adaptive, peer-to-peer (p2p) distrib...
The main memory management has been a critical issue to provide high performance in web cluster systems. To overcome the speed gap between processors and disks, many prefetch sche...
We describe a VRML/Java-based virtual environment that is populated with heterogeneous articulated agents. In this simulated environment, agents compete for collecting certain obj...
