We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
We consider the budget-constrained bidding optimization problem for sponsored search auctions, and model it as an online (multiple-choice) knapsack problem. We design both determi...

Many distributed applications can make use of large background transfers ? transfers of data that humans are not waiting for ? to improve availability, reliability, latency or con...
—When constructing an unstructured P2P topology, one should consider the application running on top of it in order to achieve a good performance for the whole P2P system. It is n...
In the area of Grid computing, there is a growing need to process large amounts of data. To support this trend, we need to develop efficient parallel storage systems that can prov...
