We initiate the study of probabilistic parallel programs with dynamic process creation and synchronisation. To this end, we introduce probabilistic split-join systems (pSJSs), a mo...
The Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling algorithm is known to be suboptimal for meeting all deadlines under global scheduling on multiprocessor platforms. However, EDF is an a...
The Earliest Deadline First scheduling algorithm (EDF) is known to not be optimal under global scheduling on multiprocessor platforms. Results have been obtained that bound the ma...

Performance evaluation studies are to be an integral part of the design and tuning of parallel applications. We propose a hierarchical approach to the systematic characterization o...

Abstract. Replication systems require a state-transfer mechanism in order to recover crashed replicas and to integrate new ones into replication groups. This paper presents and eva...
