Abstract—In this paper, we propose to leverage cloud computing to tame resource-poor mobile devices. Specifically, mobile applications can be executed in the mobile device (know...
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems, where the utility of completing each job decreases over time. We present a utility-based framework fo...

Network control and management techniques (e.g., dynamic path switching, on-demand bandwidth provisioning) rely on active measurements of end-to-end network status. These measureme...
—The design of scheduling policies for wireless data systems has been driven by a compromise between the objectives of high overall system throughput and the degree of fairness a...
