This study introduces a new analytic queuing model, the N-Burst/G/1 model with heavy-tailed service-time distribution, which captures many of the issues that affect Web servers as...
The paper describes an experimental system in which we linked together a number of computers over the Internet to form a multi-processor computer system. The arrangeme nt uses Jav...
