- Conflict-Aware Load-Balancing Techniques for Database Replication
- Middleware-based database replication protocols are more portable and flexible than kernel-based protocols, but have coarser-grain information about transaction access data, resulting in reduced concurrency and increased aborts. This paper proposes conflict-aware load-balancing techniques to increase the concurrency and reduce the abort rate of middleware-based replication protocols. Experimental evaluation using a...

- Conflict-Aware Load-Balancing Techniques for Database Replication
- Middleware-based database replication protocols require few or no changes in the database engine. Thus, they are more portable and flexible than kernel-based protocols, but have coarser-grain information about transaction access data, resulting in reduced concurrency and increased aborts. This paper proposes conflict-aware load-balancing techniques to increase the concurrency and reduce...

- On Scalability of Proximity-Aware Peer-to-Peer Streaming
- P2P (Peer-to-Peer) technology has proved itself an efficient and cost-effective solution to support large-scale multimedia streaming. Different from traditional P2P applications, the quality of P2P streaming is strictly determined by performance metrics such as streaming delay. To meet these requirements, previous studies resorted to intuitions and heuristics to construct peer...

- QoS-Aware Streaming in Overlay Multicast Considering the Selfishness in Construction Action
- Most existing overlay multicast proposals have assumed that the nodes are cooperative and thus focus on the global topology optimization. However, a unique and important characteristic of overlay nodes is that, as application-layer agents, they can be selfish with their own interests. To achieve better Quality-of-Service QoS or to minimize...
