Computer systems increasingly rely on dynamic, phasebased system management techniques, in which system hardware and software parameters may be altered or tuned at runtime for dif...
Abstract. This paper discusses an optimization-based approach for congestion control together with multipath routing in a TCP/IP network. In recent research we have shown how natur...
We present a study of six batch-pipelined scientific workloads that are candidates for execution on computational grids. Whereas other studies focus on the behavior of single app...
