—We consider resource allocation for distributed streaming applications running in a grid environment, where continuously streaming data needs to be aggregated and processed to p...
As Grids try to achieve optimal and balanced utilization of unused resources in a distributed system, fast and efficient discovery of resource states is a key requirement. For sm...
We propose a new way of architecting the wireless multimedia communications systems by jointly optimizing the protocol stack at each station and the resource exchanges among stati...
