Many web-based systems have a tiered application architecture, in which a request needs to transverse all the tiers before finishing its processing. One of the most important QoS...
We define the class of SMART scheduling policies. These are policies that bias towards jobs with small remaining service times, jobs with small original sizes, or both, with the ...

In addition to providing small mean response times, modern applications seek to provide users predictable service and, in some cases, Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. In order...
In heterogeneous and dynamic distributed systems like the Grid, detailed monitoring of workload and its resulting system performance (e.g. response time) is required to facilitate...

Understanding and managing the response time of web services is of key importance as dependence on the World Wide Web continues to grow. We present Remote Latency-based Management...
We evaluate response times, in N-user collaborations, of the popular centralized (client-server) and replicated (peer-to-peer) architectures, and a hybrid architecture in which ea...
In order to provide well-grounded guidelines for interface design, we systematically examined the effects of 2D geometric transformations and background grids on visual memory. We...
Response time is a key factor of any e-Commerce application, and a set of solutions have been proposed to provide low response time despite network congestions or failures. Being ...
— Polymorphic worms can change their byte sequence as they replicate and propagate, thwarting the traditional signature analysis techniques used by many intrusion detection syste...
Users tend to use the Internet for “resource-hungry” applications (which involve content such as video, audio on-demand and distributed data) and at the same time, more and mo...
