While performance, area, and power constraints have been the driving force in designing current communication-enabled embedded systems, post-fabrication and run-time adaptability ...
We study the conditional sojourn time distributions of processor sharing (PS), foreground background processor sharing (FBPS) and shortest remaining processing time first (SRPT) s...
Traditional database system architectures face a rapidly evolving operating environment, where millions of users store and access terabytes of data. In order to cope with increasi...
Consider the problem of estimating the small probability that the maximum of a random walk exceeds a large threshold, when the process has a negative drift and the underlying rand...
