Quantitative performance modeling of complex information systems is of immense importance for designing enterprise e-business infrastructures and applications. In this paper, we p...
The problem of merging Gaussian mixture components is discussed in situations where a Gaussian mixture is fitted but the mixture components are not separated enough from each othe...
—The functional heterogeneity of non-dedicated computational grids will increase with the inclusion of resources from desktop grids, P2P systems, and even mobile grids. Machine f...
Most parallel computing resources are controlled by batch schedulers that place requests for computation in a queue until access to compute nodes is granted. Queue waiting times a...
Abstract— While packet capture has been observed in real implementations of 802.11 devices, there is a lack of accurate models that describe the phenomenon. We present a general ...
