—While wireless vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) are attracting greater commercial interest, current research has not adequately captured the real-world urban constraints in VA...
We consider a system with a dispatcher and several identical servers in parallel. Task processing times are known upon arrival. We first study the impact of the local scheduling ...
: We consider the use of a cluster system with a shared nothing architecture for update-intensive autonomous databases. To optimize load balancing, we use optimistic database repli...
Abstract—Radio channel quality of real-world wireless networks tends to exhibit both short-term and long-term temporal variations that are in general difficult to model. To maxi...
Abstract— Interference among concurrent transmissions complicates QoS provisioning for multimedia applications in wireless mesh networks. In this paper we propose MARIA (Mesh Adm...
