The advent of the mobile Web and the increasing demand for personalized contents arise the need for computationally expensive services, such as dynamic generation and on-thefly a...
Abstract. This paper presents TimeNET, a software tool for the modelling and performability evaluation using stochastic Petri nets. The tool has been designed especially for models...
— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...
Peer-to-peer storage aims to build large-scale, reliable and available storage from many small-scale unreliable, low-availability distributed hosts. Data redundancy is the key to ...
We propose a theoretical framework for specification and analysis of a class of learning problems that arise in open-ended environments that contain multiple, distributed, dynamic...
