Covert Cycle Stealing in a Single FIFO Server
Bo Jiang, Philippe Nain, Don Towsley
Consider a setting where Willie generates a Poisson stream of jobs and routes them to a single server that follows the first-in first-out discipline. Suppose there is an adversary…
On a Class of Stochastic Multilayer Networks
Bo Jiang, Philippe Nain, Don Towsley +1
In this paper, we introduce a new class of stochastic multilayer networks. A stochastic multilayer network is the aggregation of networks (one per layer) where each is a subgra…
On the Convergence of the TTL Approximation for an LRU Cache under Independent Stationary Request Processes
Bo Jiang, Philippe Nain, Don Towsley
The modeling and analysis of an LRU cache is extremely challenging as exact results for the main performance metrics (e.g. hit rate) are either lacking or cannot be used because of…
On the Duration and Intensity of Competitions in Nonlinear Pólya Urn Processes with Fitness
Bo Jiang, Daniel R. Figueiredo, Bruno Ribeiro +1
Cumulative advantage (CA) refers to the notion that accumulated resources foster the accumulation of further resources in competitions, a phenomenon that has been empirically obser…
