The electric power grid is a vital network for every aspect of our life. The lack of buffer between generation and consumption makes the power grid unstable and fragile. While larg...
In this work we examine a task scheduling and data migration problem for Grid Networks, which we refer to as the Data Consolidation (DC) problem. DC arises when a task needs for i...

—This paper presents a method that uses data buffers to create long periods of idleness to exploit power management. This method considers the power consumed by the buffers and a...
In this paper, we propose a mechanism that supports the high quality streaming and adaptation of stored, constant-quality video across best-effort networks. The difficulty in the d...
