We present a simple mean value analysis (MVA) framework for analyzing the effect of scheduling within queues in classical asymmetric polling systems with gated or exhaustive serv...
To develop simple traffic engineering rules for the downlink of a cellular system using Proportional Fairness (PF) scheduling, we study the “strict” and “approximate” ins...
File swarming (or file sharing) is one of the most important applications in P2P networks. In this paper, we propose a stochastic framework to analyze a file swarming system und...

This paper addresses the delay analysis and resource consumption in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) equipped with throwboxes. Throwboxes are stationary, wireless devices that act ...
We propose and analyze an information-sharing application for wireless intervehicular networks, called Infoshare. Infoshare leverages the broadcast nature of the wireless medium t...

This paper develops time-based rejuvenation policies to improve the performability measures of a cluster system. Three rejuvenation policies, namely standard rejuvenation, delayed...
The simulation of mobility models such as the random waypoint often cause subtle problems, for example the decay of average speed as the simulation progresses, a difference betwee...
Recent advances in multicasting over the Internet present new opportunities for improving communication performance in clusters of workstations. The standard IP multicast, however...
A critical problem in providing Internet access to Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) is how the mobile hosts can locate Internet-based servers efficiently in a dynamic, unstructure...
