Enterprises may have multiple database systems spread across the organization for redundancy or for serving different applications. In such systems, query workloads can be distrib...
Tiny, low-cost sensor devices are expected to be failure-prone and hence in many realistic deployment scenarios for sensor networks these nodes are deployed in higher than necessa...
Protocols designed to provide error-free communications over lossy links, at both data link and transport layers, commonly employ the idea of sliding windows, which is based on th...
Motivated by the optimality of Shortest Remaining Processing Time (SRPT) for mean response time, in recent years many computer systems have used the heuristic of "favoring sm...
