This paper studies the quality of service (QoS) provision problem in noncooperative networks where applications or users are selsh and routers implement generalized processor sha...
—We use recent network calculus results to study some properties of lossless multiplexing as it may be used in guaranteed service networks. We call network calculus a set of resu...
In the near future, we will see dramatic changes in computing and networking hardware. A large number of devices (e.g., phones, PDAs, even small household appliances) will become c...
To provide Quality of Service (QoS) guarantee in distributed services, it is necessary to reserve multiple computing and communication resources for each service session. Meanwhile...
Pervasive computing software adapts its behavior according to the changing contexts. Nevertheless, contexts are often noisy. Context inconsistency resolution provides a cleaner pe...
