- Middleware Support for Aperiodic Tasks in Distributed Real-Time Systems
- Many mission-critical distributed real-time applications must handle aperiodic tasks with end-to-end deadlines. However, existing middleware (e.g., RT-CORBA) lacks schedulability analysis and run-time enforcement mechanisms needed to give online real-time guarantees for aperiodic tasks. The primary contribution of this paper is the design, implementation, and performance evaluation of the first realization...

- A Window-Based Flow Control Mechanism Based on TCP Vegas With Explicit Congestion Notification
- A window-based flow control mechanism is a sort of feedback-based congestion control mechanisms, and has been widely used in TCP/IP networks. Recently proposed TCP Vegas is another version of the TCP mechanism and has potential to achieve much better performance than current TCP Tahoe and Reno. This paper focuses on...

- A Load Balancing Mechanism With Verification
- This paper investigates the problem of designing load balancing mechanisms with verification for heterogeneous distributed systems. It derives a compensation and bonus type mechanism that solves the load balancing problem in distributed systems in which computers are characterized by linear latency functions. The paper proves that this mechanism is truthful...

- A Truthful Mechanism for Fair Load Balancing in Distributed Systems
- This paper considers the problem of designing load balancing protocols in distributed systems where the participants (e.g. computers, users) are capable of manipulating the load allocation algorithm in their own interest. Using techniques from mechanism design theory a mechanism for fair load balancing is designed in heterogeneous distributed systems. It...
