— Traffic engineering has been extensively studied to maximize network resource utilization while minimizing call blocking [1]. As the the demand for high data rate services ove...
A pervasive requirement of distributed systems is to deal with churn — change in the set of participating nodes due to joins, graceful leaves, and failures. A high churn rate ca...
In this paper, we study how a sensor-rich world can be exploited by digital recording devices such as cameras and camcorders to improve a user’s ability to search through a larg...
The growing cost of tuning and managing computer systems is leading to out-sourcing of commercial services to hosting centers. These centers provision thousands of dense servers w...
