Abstract—We suggest a novel approach to handle the ongoing explosive increase in the demand for video content in wireless/mobile devices. We envision femtocell-like base stations...
In this paper, we consider the tree task graphs which arise from many important programming paradigms such as divide and conquer, branch and bound etc., and the linear task-graphs...
This paper develops simple cost models for provisioning content distribution networks that use the simple and highly scalable bandwidth skimming protocol for streaming. New insight...

In this article, we show several results obtained by combining the use of stable distributions with pseudorandom generators for bounded space. In particular: —We show that, for a...
The Erlang formula is known to be insensitive to the holding time distribution beyond the mean. While calls are generally assumed to arrive as a Poisson process, we prove that it ...
