The purpose of this note is to describe the underlying insights and results obtained by the authors, and others, in a series of papers aimed at modelling the distribution of `natu...
Abstract We study how the average performance of a system degrades as the load nears its peak capacity. We restrict our attention to the performance measures of average sojourn tim...
This paper describes the support provided for mobility and fault tolerance in Mykil, which is a key distribution protocol for large, secure group multicast. Mykil is based on a com...
In this paper we develop models for and analyze several randomized work stealing algorithms in a dynamic setting. Our models represent the limiting behavior of systems as the numb...
We consider the problem and issues of classifier fusion and discuss how they should be reflected in the fusion system architecture. We adopt the Bayesian viewpoint and show how thi...
