Data access latency is an important metric of system performance in data grid. By means of efficient replication strategy, the amount of data transferred in wide area network will ...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) are controllable discrete event systems with stochastic transitions. Performances of an MDP are evaluated by a payoff function. The controller of ...
—We consider a wireless base station serving L users through L time-varying channels. It is well known that opportunistic scheduling algorithms with full channel state informatio...
In order to cope efficiently with simple or complex queries as well as different application requirements (e.g., ad-hoc versus repetitive queries), a query optimizer ought to supp...
To improve the scalability of the Web it is common practice to apply caching and replication techniques. Numerous strategies for placing and maintaining multiple copies of Web doc...
