The Baxter number Bn can be written as Bn = n k=0 Θk,n−k−1 with Θk,ℓ = 2 (k + 1)2 (k + 2) k + ℓ k k + ℓ + 1 k k + ℓ + 2 k . These numbers have first appeared in the...
Enterprise systems are frequently built by combining a number of discrete Web services together, a process termed composition. There are a number of architectural configurations ...
In this paper, redundant random ensembles are defined and their average stopping set (SS) weight distributions are analyzed. A redundant random ensemble consists of a set of binar...
We address the problem of distributed path selection and rate allocation for media streaming in overlay networks. Under the assumption that each node has only a local view of the ...
A distributed protocol is proposed for the synchronization of real-time tasks that have variable resource requirements. The protocol is simple to implement and is intended for lar...
