This paper investigate a queueing model where in customers arrive in batches according to compound Poisson process with rate λ and are served one by one in FIFO basis. All incoming customers demand the first ’essential’ service wherein only some of them demand the second ’optional’ service. The service times of both essential and optional services follow arbitrary(general)distribution with diff...

A Business Process Management System (BPMS) supports business processes and organizations depend on its availability. Web services have been pointed as a suitable technology for BPMSs. Thus, the inclusion of fault tolerance in the Web service architecture is essential for process continuity. The goal of this paper is to propose a fault tolerant Web service architecture to be used with BPMSs. Th...

A location service is an essential prerequisite for geographic routing protocols for MANETs. We present VHLS, a new distributed location service protocol, that features a dynamic location server selection mechanism and adapts to network traffic workload, minimizing the overall location service overhead. We demonstrate that the ratio of location queries to updates is an important performance par...
