Scheduling disk requests with service guarantees has to bring the demand to meet guarantees in line with the need to optimize disk utilization. This paper presents the design, imp...
Abstract— Component-based applications require good middleware support. In particular, business logic should be separated from management code for guaranteeing nonfunctional prop...
The enhanced pay-per-view (EPPV) model for providing continuous-media-on-demand(CMOD) services associates with each continuous media clip a display frequency that dependson the cl...
Abstract--We consider the problem of delay-efficient scheduling in general multihop networks. While the class of max-weight type algorithms are known to be throughput optimal for t...
The progressive processing model allows a system to trade off resource consumption against the quality of the outcome by mapping each activity to a graph of potential solution met...
