A large number of user requests execute (often concurrently) within a server system. A single request may exhibit fluctuating hardware characteristics (such as instruction comple...
We describe a technique for automatically proving compiler optimizations sound, meaning that their transformations are always semantics-preserving. We first present a domainspeci...
Supporting uninterrupted services for distributed soft real-time applications is hard in resource-constrained and dynamic environments, where processor or process failures and sys...
Fairness is a major issue in the operation of queues, perhaps it is the reason why queues were formed in the first place. Recent studies show that the fairness of a queueing syst...
Abstract--Since Grid computing systems involve large-scale resource sharing, resource management is central to their operations. Whereas there are more Grid resource management sys...
