Cloud computing has proposed a new perspective for provisioning the large-scale
computing resources by using virtualization technology and a payper-use cost model. Load …

Load balancing is the process of redistributing the work load among nodes of the distributed
system to improve both resource utilization and job response time while also avoiding a …

This paper reviews an area which has evolved over the past 15 years:--maa analysis of
computer system dependability. Methodologies and advances are discussed for three basic …

Presents an optimal solution to the problem of allocating communicating periodic tasks to
heterogeneous processing nodes (PNs) in a distributed real-time system. The solution is …

Automated or autonomic techniques for managing deployment of one or more resources in a
computing environment based on varying workload levels. The automated techniques may …

The paper presents the rationale for a functional simulation tool, called DEPEND, which
provides an integrated design and fault injection environment for system level dependability …

This paper describes and evaluates the application of three local learning algorithms-
nearest-neighbor, weighted-average, and locally-weighted polynomial regression-for the …

We investigate the issues involved in developing a scalable World Wide Web (WWW) server
on a cluster of workstations and parallel machines. The objective is to strengthen the …

A computer system for a web site uses load balancing of new sessions based on
measurements and estimates of past, present, and future performance, using the average …

A bus oriented network where there is a charge for the amount of divisible load processed
on each processor is investigated. A cost optimal processor sequencing result is found …
