Many real-time database systems are now being used in safety-critical applications, in which human lives or expensive machinery may be at stake. Transactions in real-time database...

We study the problem of scheduling unit size jobs on n processors connected by a ring. We show a distributed algorithm for this problem with an approximation ratio of 3 2 + √ 2....
Predictable network computing still involves a number of open questions. One such question is providing a controlled amount of CPU time to distributed processes. Mechanisms to cont...
—Load balancing is a common approach for task assignment in distributed architectures. In this paper, we show that the degree of inefficiency in load balancing designs is highly...
