Cluster-based servers can substantially increase performance when nodes cooperate to globally manage resources. However, in this paper we show that cooperation results in a substa...
Ever more scientists are employing large-scale distributed systems such as grids for their computational work, instead of tightly coupled high-performance computing systems. Howev...

Utility functions can be used to represent the value users attach to job completion as a function of turnaround time. Most previous scheduling research used simple synthetic repre...
The data traffic in wireless networks for the third generation (3G) mobile telecommunication systems should take into account a variety of services (voice, data, video) and envir...
We present the results of a performance evaluation of link layer error recovery over wireless links. Our analysis is based upon a case study of the circuit-switched data service i...
