Efficient Data Migration for Load Balancing Large-Scale Storage Systems
White Paper This paper argue that techniques employed to load-balance large-scale storage systems do not optimize for the scale of the reconfiguration - the amount of data displaced to realize the new configuration. [10 Jul 2008]
Shipment FUSION Integrates Disparate Lines of Business
White Paper The disparate systems employed by each operating company had created roadblocks to unified shipment tracking and consolidated account reporting. FedEx is comprised of multiple business units, most of which were formerly independent companies. [10 Jul 2008]
A Quantitative Comparison of Load Balancing Approaches in Distributed Object Computing Systems
White Paper However, while the rationales and mechanisms employed are dramatically different, the relative strengths and weaknesses of these approaches are unknown, making it difficult for a practitioner to choose an appropriate approach for the problem at hand. [10 Jul 2008]
Dynamic Association for Load Balancing and Interference Avoidance in Multi-Cell Networks
White Paper Even in such a next-generation system, boundary users would suffer from low throughput due to severe Inter-Cell Interference (ICI) and unbalanced user distributions among cells, unless additional schemes to mitigate this problem are employed. [10 Jul 2008]
