Grid environments enable users to share non-dedicated resources that lack performance guarantees. This paper describes the design of application-centric middleware components to a...
Online auction sites have unique workloads and user behavior characteristics that do not exist in other e-commerce sites. Earlier studies by the authors identified i) significan...
Simulating chip-multiprocessor systems (CMP) can take a long time. For single-threaded workloads, earlier work has shown the utility of phase analysis, that is identification of r...

An admission control algorithm for a multimedia server is responsible for determining if a new request can be accepted without violating the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements o...
We propose, implement and evaluate three admission models for computational Grids. The models take the expected demand into account and offer a specific performance guarantee. Th...
