Many emerging applications in both wired and wireless networks, such as information dissemination and distributed collaboration in an adversarial environment, need support of secu...
We are developing Virtuoso, a system for distributed computing using virtual machines (VMs). Virtuoso must be able to mix batch and interactive VMs on the same physical hardware, ...
We present a model, based on the maximum entropy method, for analyzing various measures of retrieval performance such as average precision, R-precision, and precision-at-cutoffs....
In addition to providing small mean response times, modern applications seek to provide users predictable service and, in some cases, Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. In order...
We define the class of SMART scheduling policies. These are policies that bias towards jobs with small remaining service times, jobs with small original sizes, or both, with the ...
