“Peer-to-peer” systems like Napster and Gnutella have recently become popular for sharing information. In this paper, we study the relevant issues and tradeoffs in designing a...
In this chapter we present recent contributions in the field of sequential job scheduling on network machines which work in parallel; these are subject to temporary unavailability...

We examine the problem of scheduling concurrent independent flows on multiple-disk I/O storage systems. Two models are considered: in the shared buffer model the memory buffer is ...
We give an overview of GRIP, a symmetry reduction tool for the probabilistic model checker PRISM, together with experimental results for a selection of example specifications. 1 ...
A probabilistic, ``neural'' approach to sensor modelling and classification is described, performing local data fusion in a wireless system for embedded sensors using a ...
