Due to the better utilization of computational and communication resources and the improved coordination of application subsystems, designers of large distributed embedded systems...
In the facility location problem (FLP) we are given a set of facilities and a set of clients, each of which is to be served by one facility. The goal is to decide which subset of f...
Abstract—This paper presents a protocol-independent approach to reveal a new insight into the performance of carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) prot...
A large organization, such as a university, commonly supplies computational power through multiple independently administered computational domains (e.g. clusters). Each computati...
In both academia and industry, peer-to-peer (P2P) applications have attracted great attentions. P2P applications such as Napster, Gnutella, FastTrack, BitTorrent, Skype and PPLive,...
