Benchmark tests have been designed and conducted for the purpose of evaluating the use of automated tape libraries in on-line digital check image retrieval applications. This type...
Although Web prefetching is regarded as an effective method to improve client access performance, the associated overhead prevents it from being widely deployed. Specifically, a ...
We consider the speed scaling problem of minimizing the average response time of a collection of dynamically released jobs subject to a constraint A on energy used. We propose an ...

Data broadcast is an efficient information delivery model that can deliver information to a large population simultaneously. In this paper, we propose two efficient algorithms to ...
The finite average response time model is a very weak distributed systems model: it permits runs with unbounded transmission and processing delays and it does not bound the relat...
Current service-level agreements (SLAs) offered by cloud providers make guarantees about quality attributes such as availability. However, although one of the most important quali...
