Access to distributed databases containing tuples collected about mobile physical objects requires information about the objects’ trajectories. Existing access control models ca...
Hot swapping technology combined with pervasive heterogeneous networks empowers mobile laptop users to select the best network device for their current environment. Unfortunately,...
In deep submicron circuits, thermal hot spots and high temperature gradients increase the cooling costs, and degrade reliability and performance. In this paper, we propose a low-co...
The Linear Ordering Problem with Cumulative Costs is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising from an application in UMTS mobile-phone communication systems. This pap...
