Abstract. We present results from a series of experiments, where relevant factors for the use of path prepositions were examined. We were especially interested in the concepts behi...
Abstract. Endpoint admission control is a mechanism for achieving scalable services by pushing quality-of-service functionality to end hosts. In particular, hosts probe the network...
Multiprocessing is already prevalent in servers where multiple clients present an obvious source of thread-level parallelism. However, the case for multiprocessing is less clear f...
Improvements in microprocessor and networking performance have made networks of workstations a very attractive platform for high-end parallel and distributed computing. However, t...
