Internet servers are developing into complex but central components in the information infrastructure and are accessed by an ever-increasing and diversified user population. As s...
Traffic burstiness has a significant impact on network performance. Burstiness can cause buffer overflows and packet drops and is particularly problematic in the context of small-b...
High-end parallel systems present a tremendous research challenge on how to best allocate their resources to match dynamic workload characteristics and user habits that are often ...
