— This paper presents an architecture and algorithms for optimizing the performance of web services. For a given service, session-based admission control is combined with stage-w...
— Dedicated infrastructures for end-to-end measurements are complex to deploy and manage. Equipment cost, the requirements for reporting bandwidth, and the administrative diversi...
—Enhanced network services often involve allocating resources (bandwidth/buffer space) preferentially to packets belonging to certain flows or traffic classes. Such services ar...

— A key challenge in ad-hoc, data-gathering wireless sensor networks is achieving a lifetime of several years using nodes that carry merely hundreds of joules of stored energy. I...
—The development and deployment of distributed network-aware applications and services require the ability to compile and maintain a model of the underlying network resources wit...
—User Fairness aims at fairly distributing the network resources among users, where a user is an entity that can possibly send different flows through different paths. In this p...
Abstract— The vision of ad-hoc networking with Bluetooth includes the concept of devices participating in multiple ”piconets” and thereby forming a ”scatternet”. However,...
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...
