To balance performance goals and allow administrators to declaratively specify high-level performance goals, we apply complete search algorithms to design on-line job scheduling p...
In this paper, we argue that the reliability of large-scale storage systems can be significantly improved by using better reliability metrics and more efficient policies for rec...
Wireless sensor networks (WSN) are composed of battery-driven communication entities performing multiple, usually different tasks. In order to complete a given task, all sensor no...
Tor, a distributed Internet anonymizing system, relies on volunteers who run dedicated relays. Other than altruism, these volunteers have no incentive to run relays, causing a lar...
Embedded real-time systems must satisfy not only logical functional requirements but also para-functional properties such as timeliness, Quality of Service (QoS) and reliability. W...
