Multimedia applications usually have throughput constraints. An implementation must meet these constraints, while it minimizes resource usage and energy consumption. The compute in...
In this article, we present a novel discrete-time Markov chain model of book-ahead bandwidthsharing mechanisms. We use this analytical model and a simulation model to understand t...
We present a new adaptive and energy-efficient broadcast model to support flexible responses to client queries. Clients do not have to request documents by name, since they may kno...
