This paper presents speculative TCP connection admission, a mechanism for improving sub-optimal request distribution decisions in cluster-based servers. Overloaded server nodes in...
—Clusters of identical intermediate servers are often created to improve availability and robustness in many domains. The use of proxy servers for the World Wide Web (WWW) and of...
We consider a latency problem with a profit pi for each client. When serving a client, a revenue of pi -t is collected. The goal is to find routes for the servers such that total ...
Chain replication is a new approach to coordinating clusters of fail-stop storage servers. The approach is intended for supporting large-scale storage services that exhibit high t...
The dominant existing routing strategies employed in peerto-peer(P2P) based information retrieval(IR) systems are similarity-based approaches. In these approaches, agents depend o...
