We present new techniques for explicit constraint satisfaction in the incremental placement process. Our algorithm employs a Lagrangian Relaxation (LR) type approach in the analyt...
Video-on-demand (VoD) is increasingly popular with internet users. However, VoD is costly due to the load placed on video servers. Peer-to-peer (P2P) techniques are an approach to...

This paper describes a new method for providingtransparent fault tolerance for parallel applications on a network of workstations. We have designed our method in the context of sh...
This paper investigates the performance of a content distribution network designed to provide bounded content access latency. Content can be divided into multiple classes with dif...
In this paper, we discuss and compare several policies to place replicas in tree networks, subject to server capacity and Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. The client requests ...
