A fundamental problem in distributed computing is to map activities such as computation or
data transfer onto resources that meet requirements for performance, cost, security, or other …

The world is undergoing a revolution in information and communication technology. Not only
the lives of citizens but also the networking technology are profoundly affected by this …

Given a set of points in a d-dimensional space, an orthogonal range query is a request for
the number of points in a specified d-dimensional box. We present a data structure and …

We survey advances in theories and models for Internet quality of service (QoS). We start
with the theory of network calculus, which lays the foundation for support of deterministic …

The recently proposed TCP-targeted Low-rate Distributed Denial-of-Service (LDDoS)
attacks send fewer packets to attack legitimate flows by exploiting the vulnerability in TCP's …

High-end networked applications such as distance visualization, distributed data analysis,
and advanced collaborative environments have demanding quality of service (QoS) …

Although the majority of the traffic over the Internet is still TCP-based, applications such as
voice over IP and video-conferencing are changing this very rapidly. While TCP-based …

The Differentiated services (diffserv) architecture has been proposed as a scalable solution
for providing service differentiation among flows without any per-flow buffer management …

In this paper, we wish to derive analytic models that predict the performance of TCP flows
between specified endpoints using routinely observed network characteristics such as loss …

The purpose of a screening experiment is to identify significant factors and interactions on a
response for a system. Engineered systems are complex in part due to their size. To apply …
