This paper presents a new conceptual model, the XBWModel. Distributed computing is becoming a cost effective way to implement safety critical control systems. To support the devel...
Cluster Storage Systems where storage devices are distributed across a large number of nodes are able to reduce the I/O bottleneck problems present in most centralized storage sys...
Gang scheduling is considered to be a highly effective task scheduling policy for distributed systems. In this paper we present a migration scheme which reduces the fragmentation ...
The present paper deals with the problem of calculating queue length distributions in a polling model with (exhaustive) k-limited service under the assumption of general arrival, ...
Enterprise systems are frequently built by combining a number of discrete Web services together, a process termed composition. There are a number of architectural configurations ...
