When employing a consensus algorithm for state machine replication, should one optimize for the case that all communication links are usually timely, or for fewer timely links? Do...
Modularity is a desirable property of complex software systems, since it simplifies code reuse, verification, maintenance, etc. However, the use of loosely coupled modules intro...
—In this report, the problem of broadcast scheduling in Push broadcast systems is studied. We introduce an optimization approach that leads to well justified policies for Push b...
— This paper presents a semi-Markov model that evaluates the performance of TCP connections with asymmetric Additive Increase and Multiplicative Decrease (AIMD) congestion contro...
— In this paper we evaluate outage performance of a cooperative transmission protocol over fading channels that requires a number of relaying nodes to employ a distributed space-...
