      Locating objects in mobile computing 

      Pitoura, Evaggelia 1967-; Samaras, George S. (2001)
      In current distributed systems, the notion of mobility is emerging in many forms and applications. Mobility arises naturally in wireless computing since the location of users changes as they move. Besides mobility in ...

      MPI-FT: Portable fault tolerance scheme for MPI 

      Louca, Soulla P.; Neophytou, Neophytos; Lachanas, Adrianos; Evripidou, Paraskevas (2000)
      In this paper, we propose the design and development of a fault tolerant and recovery scheme for the Message Passing Interface (MPI). The proposed scheme consists of a detection mechanism for detecting process failures, ...

      Optimal control approach to dynamic bandwidth allocation in B-ISDN 

      Pitsillides, Andreas; Lambert, J. (Publ by IE Aust, 1992)
      Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) will be the transfer mode for implementing Broadband-ISDN (B-ISDN). This is prompted by the need to handle a variety of types of services, with diverse demands on the network in terms of ...

      Performance evaluation of mobile IPv6 handover extensions in an IEEE 802.11b wireless network environment 

      Lai, J.; Sekercioglu, Y. Ahmet; Jordan, N.; Pitsillides, Andreas (2006)
      In order to support mobile users, the basic Internet protocols have been extended with protocols (e.g., Mobile IPv6) for intercepting and forwarding packets to a mobile and possibly roaming node. Seamless roaming requires ...

      The price of anarchy for polynomial social cost 

      Gairing, M.; Lücking, T.; Mavronicolas, Marios; Monien, Burkhard (2006)
      In this work, we consider an interesting variant of the well studied KP model for selfish routing on parallel links, which reflects some influence from the much older Wardrop model [J.G. Wardrop, Some theoretical aspects ...

      The price of selfish routing 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Spirakis, Paul G. (2007)
      We study the problem of routing traffic through a congested network. We focus on the simplest case of a network consisting of m parallel links. We assume a collection of n network users

      The price of selfish routing 

      Mavronicolas, Marios; Spirakis, Paul G. (2001)
      The problem of routing in congested communication networks was studied. A noncooperative network consisting of a set of m parallel links within a game theoretic framework was considered for analysis. A collection of n ...

      RC-BB switch a high performance switching network for B-ISDN 

      Chen, Hongxu; Lambert, Jim; Pitsillides, Andreas (1995)
      Multistage networks are strong candidates for implementation of ATM switching fabrics in B-ISDN networks. Among a number of proposed multistage networks, the Banyan network with its self-routing property, modular structure ...

      A simple roadway control system for freeway traffic 

      Zhang, J.; Chang, H.; Ioannou, Petros A. (2006)
      In this paper, a roadway control system that regulates variable speed limits along the freeway in addition to ramp metering is proposed to counteract traffic congestion and improve freeway efficiency. It treats the speed ...

      Structuring topologically aware overlay networks using domain names 

      Zeinalipour-Yazdi, Constantinos D.; Kalogeraki, Vana (2006)
      Overlay networks are application layer systems which facilitate users in performing distributed functions such as searches over the contents of other users. An important problem in such networks is that the connections ...
