—We introduce Zen, a new resource allocation framework that assigns application components to node clusters to achieve high availability for partial-fault tolerant (PFT) applicat...
: This paper discusses the issues and promising approaches in (1) obtaining rigorous specifications of the quality-of-service (QoS) requirements associated with application functio...
The increasing popularity of high-volume performancecritical Internet applications calls for a scalable server design that allows meeting individual response-time guarantees. Cons...
Abstract-- With increasing richness in features such as personalization of content, web applications are becoming more complex and hence compute intensive. Traditional approaches t...
We present two classes of distributed algorithms called DRBA and DOBA, for decentralized, proactive resource allocation in asynchronous real-time distributed systems. The objectiv...
