A toolkit for flexible and high fidelity I/O benchmarking
Eric Anderson, Susan Spence, Ram Swaminathan, Mahesh Kallahalla, Qian Wang
Despite the importance of storage in enterprise computer systems, there are few adequate tools to design and configure a storage system to meet application data requirements efficiently. Storage...
Assessment of urban-scale wireless networks, with a small number of measurements (2008)
Joshua Robinson, Ram Swaminathan, Edward W. Knightly
In order to evaluate, improve, or expand a deployed, citywide wireless mesh network, it is necessary to assess the network’s spatial performance. In this paper, we present a general framework to...

We describe a new class of utility-maximization scheduling problem with precedence constraints, the disconnected staged scheduling problem (DSSP). DSSP is a nonpreemptive multiprocessor deadline...
A New Conceptual Clustering Framework (2004)
Nina Mishra, Dana Ron, Ram Swaminathan
We propose a new formulation of the conceptual clustering problem where the goal is to explicitly output a collection of simple and meaningful conjunctions of attributes that define the clusters. The...
