With the increasing popularity of Massively Multiplayer Online Game (MMOG) and fast
growth of mobile gaming, cloud gaming exhibits great promises over the conventional …

Users typically want their flows to complete as quickly as possible. This makes Flow
Completion Time (FCT) an important—arguably the most important—performance metric for …

This paper describes the CoolEmAll project and its approach for modeling and simulating
energy-efficient and thermal-aware data centers. The aim of the project was to address …

This paper investigates the performance of task assignment policies for server farms, as the
variability of job sizes (service demands) approaches infinity. Our results reveal that some …

Distributed computing enables parallel execution of smaller tasks that make up a large
computing job. Its purpose is to reduce the job completion time. However, random …

We consider time-of-use pricing as a technique for matching supply and demand of temporal
resources with the goal of maximizing social welfare. Relevant examples include energy …

Distributed computing enables parallel execution of tasks that make up a large computing
job. Random fluctuations in service times (inherent to computing environments) often cause …

Simultaneously controlling multiple robots requires multiple operators working together as a
team. Determining how to construct the team to promote performance and reduce workload …

This paper considers providing two types of QoS guarantees, proportional delay
differentiation (PDD) and absolute delay guarantee (ADG), in the database connection pool …

Efficient file query is important to the overall performance of peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing
systems. Clustering peers by their common interests can significantly enhance the efficiency …
