Multimedia applications have unique characteristics that can be leveraged to design energy-efficient loss recovery mechanisms. Given their loss tolerance and strict timing requirem...
The built-in process registry has proven to be an extremely useful feature of the Erlang language. It makes it easy to provide named services, which can be reached without knowing...
We propose a natural generalisation of asynchronous bounded delay (ABD) network models. The commonly used ABD models assume a known bound on message delay. This assumption is ofte...
Dwell time on Web pages has been extensively used for various information retrieval tasks. However, some basic yet important questions have not been sufficiently addressed, e.g., ...
