In this paper, we propose a general cross-layer optimization framework in which we explicitly consider both the heterogeneous and dynamically changing characteristics of delay-sens...
Management of large-scale parallel and distributed applications is an extremely complex task due to factors such as centralized management architectures, lack of coordination and ...
To enable the end-to-end Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees in the Internet, based on the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP), inter-domain QoS advertising and routing are important. H...
The big challenge related to the contemporary research on ubiquitous and pervasive computing is that of seamless integration. For the next generation of ubiquitous and distributed...
Multimedia database systems (MMDBSs) have to be capable to handle efficiently time-dependent and timeindependent data, and to support Quality-of-Service (QoS). To support continuo...
