A successful P2P live streaming system must achieve high uploading bandwidth utilization, fast stream distribution, fair aggregate bandwidth distribution among participating nodes,...
Abstract. Software agent technology has attracted much attention for developing various distributed systems, composed of autonomous agents interacting with one another using partic...
In this paper, we start from an assigned control law with known probability distributions of its execution time. Our goal is to identify an optimised scheduling policy that allows ...
Increased platform heterogeneity and varying resource availability in distributed systems motivates the design of resource-aware applications, which ensure a desired performance l...
We describe work in progress on tools and infrastructure to support adaptive component-based software for mobile devices— in our case, Apple iPhones. Our high level aim is ‘de...
