Finding an efficient configuration for cluster-based multi-tier Internet services is often a difficult task. Moreover, even a good configuration could become obsolete, depending o...
Abstract--Peer-to-peer (P2P) video-on-demand (VoD) is a popular Internet service for a large number of concurrent users. Streaming capacity in a P2P VoD system is defined as the ma...
Managing uncertain data using probabilistic frameworks has attracted much interest lately in the database literature, and a central computational challenge is probabilistic infere...
We present Byzantine Disk Paxos, an asynchronous shared-memory consensus algorithm that uses a collection of n > 3t disks, t of which may fail by becoming non-responsive or arb...
In evolutionary algorithms, the typical post-processing phase involves selection of the best-of-run individual, which becomes the final outcome of the evolutionary run. Trivial f...
