The recent technological advances in micro electro-mechanical systems have promoted the
development of a powerful class of sensor-based distributed intelligent systems capable of …

In recent years service curves have proven a powerful and versatile model for performance
analysis of network elements, such as schedulers, links, and traffic shapers, up to entire …

The smart grid, as one of typical applications supported by Internet of Things, denoted as a
re-engineering and a modernization of the traditional power grid, aims to provide reliable …

Large-scale wireless sensor networks represent a new generation of real-time embedded
systems with significantly different communication constraints from traditional networked …

Utility functions provide a natural and advantageous framework for achieving self-
optimization in distributed autonomic computing systems. We present a distributed …

We introduce a unified framework that interrelates three different types of policies that will be
used in autonomic computing system: action, goal, and utility function policies. Our policy …

Sensor nodes are densely deployed to accomplish various applications because of the
inexpensive cost and small size. Depending on different applications, the traffic in the …

Ethernet, the most widely used commodity network, increasingly moves toward switches as
implementation technology thus replacing buses. This allows to use traffic shaping …

Meeting tail latency Service Level Objectives (SLOs) in shared cloud networks is both
important and challenging. One primary challenge is determining limits on the multi-tenancy …

This paper presents a theoretical representation of a stochastic traffic bound (σ', ρ') that
consists of two items, the burstiness bound σ'and the bound of long-term average rate ρ' …
