Nowadays, networked computers are present in most aspects of everyday life. Moreover, essential parts of society come to depend on distributed systems formed of networked computers, thus making such systems secure and fault tolerant is a top priority. If t ...
We review an example of wide-area mobile agent applications: video-on-demand, long-lived scientific computation, and collaborative work, and the design of a distributed infrastructure required in each of these applications for location-independent communic ...
Within only a couple of generations, the so-called digital revolution has taken the world by storm: today, almost all human beings interact, directly or indirectly, at some point in their life, with a computer system. Computers are present on our desks, co ...
Since the introduction of the concept of failure detectors, several consensus and atomic broadcast algorithms based on these detectors have been published. The performance of these algorithms is often affected by a trade-off between the number of communica ...
We are interested in the design of physical-layer aware medium access control (PHY-aware MAC) for self-organized, low power, low data-rate impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) networks. In such networks, energy consumption is much more of a concern than a ...
Virtual private network design in the hose model deals with the reservation of capacities in a weighted graph such that the terminals in this network can communicate with one another. Each terminal is equipped with an upper bound on the amount of traffic t ...
A distributed system is no longer confined to a single administrative domain. Peer-to-peer applications and business-to-business e-commerce systems, for example, typically span multiple local-area and wide-area networks, raising issues of trust, security, ...
We consider the problem of distributing high-quality video signals over IP multicast in large Local Area Networks (LANs), under real-time delay constraints, and with software-only processing. In a large LAN (such as the network of a university campus, or t ...
Giving users simple access to QoS selection capability of ATM networks is important for the future of integrated services networks. We describe the first instance of an application in which users had the capacity to tune ATM traffic parameters with a butto ...
Numerous approaches have been proposed to manage Quality of Service in the Internet. However, none of them was successfully deployed in a commercial IP backbone, mostly because of their complexity. In this paper, we take advantage of the excess network ban ...
