The ability to reserve network bandwidth is critical for the success of high-performance grid applications. While reservation of lightpaths in dynamically switched optical network...
Many scheduling problems reside in uncertain and dynamic environments – tasks have a nonzero probability of failure and may need to be rescheduled. In these cases, an optimized ...

Transmission ofmultimedia streams imposesa minimum-bandwidth requirementon the path being usedto ensureend-to-endQuality-ofService (QoS) guarantees. While any shortest-path algori...
Both peer-to-peer and sensor networks have the fundamental characteristics of node churn and failures. Peers in P2P networks are highly dynamic, whereas sensors are not dependable...
This paper examines the use of adaptable priority marking for providing soft bandwidth guarantees to individual connections or connection groups over the Internet. In contrast to ...
