We use computer simulation to study the performance of alternative real-time delay estimators in heavily loaded multiserver queueing models. These delay estimates may be used to m...
Methods for automatically managing the performance of computing services must estimate a performance model of that service. This paper explores properties that are necessary for p...
We propose an admission control approach for IPTV in which decisions to admit new flows are based on effective bandwidth estimates calculated using empirical traffic measurement. W...
—Internet Service Providers (ISPs) have failed to reduce the cost of peer-to-peer (P2P) traffic. Traffic throttling devices increase user download times, and caches store content...
The advent of service-oriented Grid computing has resulted in the need for Grid resources such as clusters to enforce user-specific service needs and expectations. Service Level ...
