Whenever message-oriented middleware is used within applications which run on heterogeneous software systems of multiple partners, and middleware protocols have to be replaced or ...
This paper provides a performance evaluation of the TETRAPOL random access protocol. The results are based on a Markovian model which is also presented. The Markovian model is use...
Advances in optical technology have increased the interest for multiprocessor architectures based on lightwave networks because of the vast bandwidth available. In this paper we p...
Layering of protocols o ers several well-known advantages, but typically leads to performance ine ciencies. We present a model for layering, and point out where the performance pr...
Message-based process architectures are widely regarded as an effective method for structuring parallel protocol processing on shared memory multi-processor platforms. A message-b...
