Emerging Cloud computing infrastructures provide computing resources on demand based on postpaid principles. For example, the RESERVOIR project develops an infrastructure capable o...
This paper reports simulation methods and results for analyzing a self-adjusting Quality of Service (QoS) control scheme for multimedia/telecommunication systems based on resource...
In this paper, we study dynamic protocol update (DPU). Contrary to local code updates on-the-fly, DPU requires global coordination of local code replacements. We propose a novel ...
Data consistency protocols are vital ingredients of mobile data management systems. Notable research efforts have been spent to find adequate consistency models for allowing mobi...
Maintaining the Quality of Service (QoS) is important for self-healing web service-based distributed interactive applications. It requires the ability to deal with permanently cha...
