Applications designed to execute on "computational grids" frequently require the simultaneous co-allocation of multiple resources in order to meet performance requiremen...
Recently, there has been much interest in enhancing purely combinatorial formalisms with numerical information. For example, planning formalisms can be enriched by taking resource...
In this paper, we propose and study a new technique, which we call cache-based compaction for reducing the latency of Web browsing over a slow link. Our compaction technique trades...
