The H.264/AVC provides gains in compression efficiency of up to 50% over a wide range of bit rates and video resolutions compared to previous standards. However, these features inc...
Distributed storage systems often use data replication to mask failures and guarantee high data availability. Node failures can be transient or permanent. While the system must ge...

We describe Breach, a Matlab toolbox providing a coherent set of simulation-based techniques aimed at the analysis of deterministic models of hybrid dynamical systems. The primary ...
This paper presents a comprehensive statistical analysis of workloads collected on data-intensive clusters and Grids. The analysis is conducted at different levels, including Virt...
