With the rapid advances in Internet and Grid technique, an increasing number of applications will involve computing systems. These applications in turn create an increasing demand ...
DEVS is a Modeling and Simulation formalism that has been used to study the dynamics of discrete event systems. Cell-DEVS is a DEVS-based formalism that defines the cell space as ...
Parameter-space studies involve running a single application several times with different parameter sets. Since the jobs are mutually independent, many computing resources can be r...

We present a design for policy-based performance management of SMS Systems. The design takes as input the operator’s performance goals, which are expressed as policies that can b...
Several recent studies have pointed out that file I/Os can be a major performance bottleneck for some large Web servers. Large I/O buffer caches often do not work effectively for ...
