This paper presents a framework for specifying Web services communities. A Web service is
an accessible application that humans, software agents, and other applications in general …

This thesis presents a new approach to root cause localization and fault diagnosis in the
Internet based on a Common Architecture for Probabilistic Reasoning in the Internet …

In packet networks, congestion events tend to persist, producing large delays and long
bursts of consecutive packet loss resulting in perceived performance degradations. The …

The aim of this paper is to study communication in networks where nodes fail in a random
dependent way. In order to capture fault dependencies, we introduce the neighborhood fault …

The response to a video stream across an Internet end-to-end path particularly depends on
the performance at the path's tight link, which can be examined in a simple network testbed …

Scalability is always an issue for multicast protocols. This paper analyses and compares
eight protocols for packet loss recovery in multicast communications. The goal of our …

The global provisioning of some types of evolved services over the Internet requires the
deployment of servers; the approach is usually called service overlays. An optimal design of …

A fractional Brownian queueing model, that is, a fluid model with an input of a fractional
Brownian motion, was proposed in the 1990s to capture the self-similarity and long-range …

There is now increasing interest in active and programmable networking. Increasing amount
of research is ongoing on topics ranging from dynamic service and network management, to …

Presently, there is an increasing interest in providing multipoint network services to support
new multi-user applications. This approach is generally referred as\multicast" and provides e …
