- Tability of Load Balancing Algorithms in Dynamic Adversarial Systems
- In a distributed network of computing hosts, the performance of the system can depend crucially on dividing up work effectively across the participating nodes. This type of load balancing problem has been studied in many different models, centered around the idea that an algorithm should avoid creating "Hot spots" that...

- Large-Scale TCP Models Using Optimistic Parallel Simulation
- Internet data traffic is doubling each year, yet bandwidth does not appear to be growing as fast as expected and thus short falls in available bandwidth, particularly at the "Last mile" may result. To address these bandwidth allocation and congestion problems, researchers are proposing new overlay networks that provide a...
