      FRES-CAR: An adaptive cache replacement policy 

      Pallis, George C.; Vakali, Athena I.; Sidiropoulos, E. (2005)
      Caching Web objects has become a common practice towards improving content delivery and users' servicing. A Web caching framework is characterized by its cache replacement policy, which identifies the objects (i.e. the ...

      Identifying failures in grids through monitoring and ranking 

      Zeinalipour-Yazdi, Constantinos D.; Neocleous, Kyriacos; Georgiou, Chryssis; Dikaiakos, Marios D. (2008)
      In this paper we present FailRank, a novel framework for integrating and ranking information sources that characterize failures in a grid system. After the failing sites have been ranked, these can be eliminated from the ...

      Indirect adaptive control for systems with input rate saturation 

      Kahveci, N. E.; Ioannou, Petros A. (2008)
      An indirect adaptive control design with anti-windup augmentation for stable systems subject to input magnitude saturation is extended to address systems with significant input rate constraints. We use the method of ...

      Multimedia content adaptation: Operation selection in the MPEG-21 framework 

      Sofokleous, Anastasis A.; Angelides, Marios C.; Schizas, Christos N. (2005)
      Whilst many content adaptation operations exist and a number of different approaches are currently being proposed, selecting the right content adaptation operation is largely an ad hoc process. In this paper we discuss ...
