Publications
This page provides pointers to on-line copies of the journal and conference papers, theses, and technical reports written by members of the Computer networks and performance evaluation research group in the Computer Science Department of the University of Massachusetts for the years 1991 to present. Only those publications that are available on-line are listed here; copies of non-on-line papers (not listed here) can be requested from the authors.
Publications are listed by year, with most recent years appearing first. Note that when a technical report and a conference/journal paper bear the same title, both are available under the single listing for the conference or journal entry).
Please direct any problems downloading papers from this site to Elisha Rosensweig
(elisha@cs.umass.edu).
Please direct any other questions to either Professor Jim Kurose,
or Professor
Don Towsley, or another author of a paper. Contact
infomation for other authors is on our group homepage.
