This paper deals with scheduling divisible load applications on star networks, in presence of return messages. This work is a follow-on of [6, 7], where the same problem was consi...
Abstract. Predicting the performance of component-based applications is difficult due to the complexity of the underlying component technology. This problem is exacerbated when a m...
This paper extends the traditional socket interface to TCP/IP communication with the ability to seek rather than simply receive data in order. Seeking on a TCP socket allows a use...
We build an efficient and reliable data transport protocol on top of the Short Message Service (SMS). We conduct a series of experiments to characterize SMS behaviour under bursty...
In this paper, we present an asynchronous consistent global checkpoint collection algorithm which prevents contention for network storage at the file server and hence reduces the...
