—Increasing demand to transmit real-time data over packet-switched networks calls for quality-of-service support from the underlying network. Deadline-based networks were develop...
Performance critical services over Internet often rely on geographically distributed architectures of replicated servers. Content Delivery Networks (CDN) are a typical example whe...
Size-based policies have been known to successfully balance load and improve performance in homogeneous cluster environments where a dispatcher assigns a job to a server strictly ...
In this paper, we propose using the network-attached disk (NAD) architecture to design highly scalable and cost-effective multimedia-on-demand (MOD) servers. In order to ensure en...
—We propose a distributed scheduling and active queue management mechanism for wireless ad hoc networks. The approach is based on a random access scheduler where the transmission...
