We consider the problem of admission control in resource sharing systems, such as web servers and transaction processing systems, when the job size distribution has high variabili...
— The purpose of this paper is to model the stochastic behavior of nodal prices and use the predicted price differences between zones as the basis for measuring the magnitude and...
Most space-sharing parallel computers presently operated by high-performance computing centers use batch-queuing systems to manage processor allocation. Because these machines are...
— In many devices, wireless network interfaces consume upwards of 30% of scarce portable system energy. Extending the system lifetime by minimizing communication power consumptio...
Existing security models require that information of a given security level be prevented from “leaking” into lower-security information. High-security applications must be dem...
