In this paper we model and study the performance of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing systems in terms of their `service capacity'. We identify two regimes of interest: the tra...
We present two swarm intelligence control mechanisms used for distributed robot path formation. In the first, the robots form linear chains. We study three variants of robot chains...
—Clusters and applications continue to grow in size while their mean time between failure (MTBF) is getting smaller. Checkpoint/Restart is becoming increasingly important for lar...
This paper studies a queuing model in which a buyer sources a good or service from an single supplier chosen from a pool of suppliers. The buyer seeks to minimize the sum of her p...
We consider the problem of designing distributed mechanisms for joint congestion control and resource allocation in spatial-reuse TDMA wireless networks. The design problem is pos...
