This paper investigates randomization and replication as strategies to achieve reliable performance in disk arrays targeted for video-on-demand (VoD) workloads. A disk array can p...
Switching cells in parallel is a common approach to build switches with very high external line rate and a large number of ports. A prime example is the parallel packet switch (in...
In order to perform an average-case analysis for specific input distributions one needs to derive and understand properties of a 'typical' input instance. In the case of...
We study the problem of designing truthful algorithms for scheduling a set of tasks, each one owned by a selfish agent, to a set of parallel (identical or unrelated) machines in or...
This work intends to deal with the optimal kinematic synthesis problem of parallel manipulators under a unified framework. Observing that regular (e.g., hyper-rectangular) workspac...
