Software systems evolve over time due to changes in requirements, optimization of code, fixes for security and reliability bugs etc. Code churn, which measures the changes made to...
In this paper we consider a multi-server queue with a near general arrival process (represented as an arbitrary state-dependent Coxian distribution), a near general state-dependent...
— We study the case of a single transmitter, which communicates to two co-located users, through an independent block Rayleigh fading channel. The co-location nature of the users...
Packet scheduling in networks with quality of service constraints has been extensively studied as a single criterion scheduling problem. The assumption underlying single criterion ...
Performance characteristics, such as response time, throughput and scalability, are key quality attributes of distributed applications. Current practice, however, rarely applies s...
