We define some interesting incentive issues that arise in the management of virtual infrastructures. We demonstrate that participants’ decisions about the quantities of infrast...
Caches have become increasingly important with the widening gap between main memory and processor speeds. However, they are a source of unpredictability due to their characteristi...
CLOCK is a classical cache replacement policy dating back to 1968 that was proposed as a low-complexity approximation to LRU. On every cache hit, the policy LRU needs to move the a...
Clock synchronization is a crucial basic service in typical sensor networks, since the observations of distributed sensors more often than not need to be ordered ("a happened...
Reliability is a major requirement for most safety-related systems. To meet this requirement, fault-tolerant techniques such as hardware replication and software re-execution are ...
