Multiprocessing is already prevalent in servers where multiple clients present an obvious source of thread-level parallelism. However, the case for multiprocessing is less clear f...
Web servers must be protected from overload since server overload leads to low server throughput and increased response times experienced by the clients. Server overload occurs wh...
One of the typical features of distributed systems is the heterogeneity of its components (e.g. geographical spreading and different platform architectures), leading to interopera...

Job scheduling typically focuses on the CPU with little work existing to include I/O or memory. Time-shared execution provides the chance to hide I/O and long-communication latenc...
— Managing the performance of multiple-tiered Web sites under high client loads is a critical problem with the advent of dynamic content and database-driven servers on the Intern...
We propose power-aware on-line task scheduling algorithms for mixed task sets which consist of both periodic and aperiodic tasks. The proposed algorithms utilize the execution beha...
Abstract. We conducted an eye-tracking study of mechanical problem solving from cross-sectional diagrams of devices. Response time, accuracy and eye movement data were collected an...
One of the unknowns of emailing is the time it will take the receiver to form and post a reply. Response times vary considerably, and the chronemics of email are an important non-...
Many Internet applications employ multi-tier software architectures. The performance of such multi-tier Internet applications is typically measured by the end-toend response times...
Widely available and utilized Grid servers are vulnerable to a variety of threats from Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, overloading caused by flash crowds, and compromised client ...
