Queueing models are routinely used to analyze the performance of software systems. However, contrary to common assumptions, the time that a software server takes to complete jobs ...
We consider a system with two service classes with heterogeneous traffic characteristics and Quality-of-Service requirements. The available bandwidth is shared between the two tra...
Abstract. Endpoint admission control is a mechanism for achieving scalable services by pushing quality-of-service functionality to end hosts. In particular, hosts probe the network...
— The problem of achieving fairness in the allocation of the bandwidth resource on a link shared by multiple flows of traffic has been extensively researched over the last deca...
In energy constrained wireless sensor networks, energy conservation techniques are to be applied in order to maximize the system lifetime. We tackle the problem of increasing netw...
