- Overcoming the challenges of integrating information across the enterprise
- Enterprise integration enables delivery of the right information to the right user in a timely manner. Unfortunately, many existing information systems were developed and deployed using ad hoc approaches, resulting in information silos that make data sharing and integration among business units difficult. Integration practitioners must deal with the issues...

- Distributed, Secure Load Balancing With Skew, Heterogeneity, and Churn
- Numerous proposals exist for load balancing in peer-to-peer (p2p) networks. Some focus on namespace balancing, making the distance between nodes as uniform as possible. This technique works well under ideal conditions, but not under those found empirically. Instead, researchers have found heavy-tailed query distributions skew, high rates of node join...

- Resource Biased Path Selection in Heterogeneous Mobile Networks
- In wireless ad hoc networks heterogeneity is inherent; each node has different characteristics, resources and purpose. Current ad hoc routing protocols do not take node heterogeneity into account when making routing decisions; they consider each node identical in capabilities. This paper proposes a simple way to modify the route discovery...

- Column Heterogeneity as a Measure of Data Quality
- Data quality is a serious concern in every data management application, and a variety of quality measures have been proposed, including accuracy, freshness and completeness, to capture the common sources of data quality degradation. The authors identify and focus attention on a novel measure, column heterogeneity that seeks to quantify...

- Enhancing Cellular Multicast Performance Using Ad Hoc Networks
- Although multicast communication is well-suited to shared wireless links, receiver heterogeneity impedes the use of multicast in wireless networks. This paper examines an approach that addresses the receiver heterogeneity problem in cellular multicast with the help of an additional IEEE 802.11 ad hoc network. The basic idea is to allow...

- Heterogeneous Chip Multiprocessors
- Heterogeneous or asymmetric chip multiprocessors present unique opportunities for improving system throughput, reducing processor power, and mitigating Amdahl's law. On-chip heterogeneity allows the processor to better match execution resources to each application's needs and to address a much wider spectrum of system loads - from low to high thread parallelism...

- Towards a Reference Middleware Architecture for Ambient Intelligence Systems
- Ambient-Intelligence AmI systems raise a series of new challenges in software and system development: Mobility, adaptability and heterogeneity are new concerns that have to be addressed. Many of these concerns are common and therefore should be addressed by a common AmI infrastructure instead of each individual application. This position paper...

- TCP Vegas-Like Algorithm for Layered Multicast Transmission
- Layered multicast is probably the most elegant solution to tackle the heterogeneity problem in multicast delivery of real-time multimedia streams. However, the multiple join experiments carried out by different receivers in order to detect the available bandwidth make it hard to achieve fairness. This paper presents a simple protocol, inspired...

- The Impact of Heterogeneous Bandwidth Constraints on DHT-Based Multicast Protocols
- This paper considers support for bandwidth demanding applications such as video broadcasting using DHTs. The paper focuses the investigations by considering the impact of heterogeneity in the outgoing bandwidth capabilities of nodes on Scribe, a representative and relatively mature DHT-based multicast protocol. The paper exposes important issues that arise due...

- Overcoming Challenges in Managing Linux
- The introduction of Linux brought the promise of a new level of cost-efficiency and flexibility in enterprise IT environments. But as Linux systems scale, management becomes unwieldy. The prohibitive cost of managing large installations over time -- making sure every single server is running right, even up to thousands of...

- Can a File System Virtualize Processors?
- Supercomputers comprise more and more processors and these processors are increasingly heterogeneous, with differing performance characteristics. The conventional programming models assume that all nodes run in lockstep. Thus, applications run at the speed of the least powerful processor. This paper introduces DesyncFS, a new programming model based on the block...
