— Traditional SLAs, defined by average delay or packet loss, often camouflage the instantaneous performance perceived by end-users. We define a set of metrics for service avai...
Abstract. We argue that the needs of many classes of modern applications, especially those targeted at mobile or wireless computing, demand the services of content-based publish/su...
The paper considers distributed applications where interactions between constituent services take place via messages in an asynchronous environment with unpredictable communicatio...
The scope of wireless sensor network (WSN) applications has traditionally been restricted by physical sensor coverage and limited computational power. Meanwhile, IP networks like t...
— Efficient network provisioning mechanisms that support service differentiation and automatic capacity dimensioning are essential to the realization of the Differentiated Servi...
