Optimizing a semiconductor wafer fab requires balancing technology and productivity. Recent work on productivity modeling will be described and focus on discrete event simulation ...
Abstract. We propose a model for communication in single-hop wireless sensor networks and define and evaluate the performance of a robust, energy balanced protocol for a powerful a...
Load balancing is often used to ensure that nodes in a distributed systems are equally loaded. In this paper, we show that for real-time systems, load balancing is not desirable. ...
Internet end-systems employ various adaptation mechanisms that enable them to respond adequately to legitimate requests in overload situations. Today, these mechanisms are incorpo...
