In this paper, we start from an assigned control law with known probability distributions of its execution time. Our goal is to identify an optimised scheduling policy that allows ...
Most scientific models are not physical objects, and this raises important questions. What sort of entity are models, what is truth in a model, and how do we learn about models? In...
In large peer-to-peer (P2P) overlay networks, nodes usually share resources to support all kinds of applications. In such networks, a subset of the nodes may assume the role of br...

Integration—supporting multiple application classes with heterogeneous requirements—is an emerging trend in networks, file systems, and operating systems. In this paper, we e...
In P2P file sharing systems, free-riders who use others’ resources without sharing their own cause system-wide performance degradation. Existing techniques to counter freerider...
