One of the main contributions of classical mechanism design is the derivation of the Groves mechanisms. The class of Groves mechanisms are the only mechanisms that are strategy-pr...
As users increasingly require better quality of service from Grids, resource management and scheduling mechanisms have to evolve in order to satisfy competing demands on limited r...
Open Multithreaded Transactions form an advanced transaction model that provides features for controlling and structuring not only accesses to objects, as usual in transaction sys...
We describe a general technique for converting an online algorithm B to a truthtelling mechanism. We require that the original online competitive algorithm has certain "nicen...
One of the challenges in building analytic performance models such as queuing network models is obtaining service demands for the various workloads and various devices. While some...
