A flash crowd is a surge in traffic to a particular Web site that causes the site to be virtually unreachable. We present a theoretical model of flash crowd events and evaluate...

We present a technique for defining and extracting passage-time densities from high-level stochastic process algebra models. Our high-level formalism is PEPA, a popular Markovian...

Over the last decade numerous Active Queue Management (AQM) schemes have been proposed in the literature. Many of these studies have been directed towards improving congestion con...
In a distributed multi-user game, entities need to communicate their state information to other entities. Usually only a subset of the game's entities are interested in infor...
In this paper, we develop an upper bound on the individual session queue length of long range dependent (LRD) traffic under the generalized processor sharing (GPS) scheduling disc...
The congestion control mechanisms of TCP make it vulnerable in an environment where flows with different congestionsensitivity compete for scarce resources. With the increasing am...
Recent increases in CPU performance have surpassed those in hard drives. As a result, disk operations have become more expensive in terms of the number of CPU cycles spent waiting...
I/O is a major performance bottleneck in modern computer systems. Modern disks use the Zone-Bit-Recording (ZBR) technology to increase the capacity. A direct consequence of ZBR is...
