—“Autonomic systems” merge advancements in the field of multi-agent software design, dynamic analysis, and decentralized control in order to assist designers in constructing...
Abstract. Many distributed applications can be understood in terms of components interacting in an open environment. This interaction is not always uniform as the network may consi...
Synchronization is often necessary in parallel computing, but it can create delays whenever the receiving processor is idle, waiting for the information to arrive. This is especia...
Recent research on processor microarchitecture suggests using instruction criticality as a metric to guide hardware control policies. Fields et al. [3, 4] have proposed a directed...
In this paper, we present an analytical model for the approximate calculation of the throughput and end-toend delay performance in single hop and multihop IEEE 802.11 networks unde...
