Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a promising architecture for the next generation Internet due to its scalable and flexible design. In DiffServ, scheduling disciplines play an...
Wide-area distribution raises significant performance problems for traditional query processing techniques as data access becomes less predictable due to link congestion, load imb...
We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
—Increasingly larger data sets are being stored in networked architectures. Many of the available data structures are not easily amenable to parallel realizations. Hashing scheme...
Middleware has been introduced to provide interoperability as well as transparent location of servers in heterogeneous client-server environments. Although such benefits accrue fro...
