This paper develops time-based rejuvenation policies to improve the performability measures of a cluster system. Three rejuvenation policies, namely standard rejuvenation, delayed...
Efficient estimation of tail probabilities involving heavy tailed random variables is amongst the most challenging problems in Monte-Carlo simulation. In the last few years, appli...
Abstract. We consider wireless ad-hoc networks and implement failure detections mechanisms. These failure detectors provide elementary information for high level distributed algori...
Human-to-human interaction across distributed applications requires that sufficient consistency be maintained among participants in the face of network characteristics such as lat...

The dynamic behavior of a network in which information is changing continuously over time requires robust and efficient mechanisms for keeping nodes updated about new information. ...
