We consider a distributed server system and ask which policy should be used for assigning tasks to hosts. In our server, tasks are not preemptible. Also, the task's service d...
In this paper, we propose an approach to flow-unaware admission control, which is combination with an aggregate packet forwarding scheme, improves scalability of networks while g...
Despite increasingly distributed internet information sources with diverse storage formats and access-control constraints, most of the end applications (e.g., filters and media p...
1 Switched system-area networks enable thousands of storage devices to be shared and directly accessed by end hosts, promising databases and filesystems highly scalable, reliable ...
Large distributed systems such as Computational Grids require a large amount of monitoring data be collected for a variety of tasks such as fault detection, performance analysis, ...

To provide Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee in distributed services, it is necessary to reserve multiple computing and communication resources for each service session. Meanwhile...
In this paper we present a scalable protocol for conducting periodic probes of network performance in a way that minimizes collisions between separate probes. The goal of the prot...
