This paper focuses on peer-to-peer storage systems that achieve availability through replication. We study the problem of resource allocation when the system must replicate multip...
This paper studies the optimal resource allocation in time-reservation systems. Customers arrive at a service facility and receive service in two steps; in the first step informa...

Real-world distributed systems and networks are often unreliable and subject to random failures of its components. Such a stochastic behavior affects adversely the complexity of o...
Software testing is an important issue in software engineering. As software systems become increasingly large and complex, the problem of how to optimally allocate the limited test...
Recent results have used game theory to explore the nature of optimal investments in the security of simple series and parallel systems. However, it is clearly important in practi...
