– Maximizing consolidation ratio, the number of virtual machines (VMs) in a physical machine, without violating customers’ SLAs is an important goal in the cloud. We show that ...
In this paper, we address the problem of providing a service broker, which offers to prospective users a composite service with a range of different Quality of Service (QoS) class...

—Most existing large-scale networked systems on the Internet such as peer-to-peer systems are vulnerable to Sybil attacks where a single adversary can introduce many bogus identi...
Many large-scale distributed computing applications demand real-time responses by soft deadlines. To enable such real-time task distribution and execution on the volunteer resourc...

Consider a multiclass stochastic network with state dependent service rates and arrival rates describing bandwidth-sharing mechanisms as well as admission control and/or load bala...
An inelastic flow is a flow with inelastic rate: i.e., the rate is fixed, it cannot be dynamically adjusted to traffic and load condition as in elastic flows like TCP. Real ti...
Popular Internet applications deploy a multi-tier architecture, with each tier provisioning a certain functionality to its preceding tier. In this paper, we address the challengin...
Abstract--Proper admission control in cognitive radio networks is critical in providing QoS guarantees to secondary unlicensed users. In this paper, we study the admission control ...
The Call admission control (CAC) is one of the Radio Resource Management (RRM) techniques that plays influential role in ensuring the desired Quality of Service (QoS) to the users...
