We focus on tandem queues with subexponential service time distributions. We assume that number of customers in front of the first station is infinite and there is infinite room f...
: Metaschedulers in the Grid needs dynamic information to support their scheduling decisions. Job response time on computing resources, for instance, is such a performance metric. ...
Web Services are an emerging software technology that employ XML to share and exchange data. They may serve as wrappers for legacy data sources, integrate multiple remote data sou...
—Intuitively, it seems that understanding how the performance of a system affects its users requires research in psychology and the conducting of live experiments. We demonstrate...

This paper presents a new schedulability analysis methodology for distributed hard real-time systems with bursty job arrivals. The schedulability is analyzed by comparing worst-ca...
We study the effects of RED on the performance of Web browsing with a novel aspect of our work being the use of a usercentric measure of performance — response time for HTTP req...
