It is useful for an intelligent software agent to be able to adapt to new demands from an environment. Such adaptation can be viewed as a redesign problem; an agent has some origin...
Today's high-performance single-chip CMOS microprocessors are the most complex and challenging chip designs ever implemented. To stay on the leading edge, Digital's micro...
Recent research has shown that even modern hard disks have complex failure modes that do not conform to “failstop” operation. Disks exhibit partial failures like block access ...

Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are characterized by direct access between peer computers, rather than through a centralized server. File sharing is the dominant P2P application on the...
The increasing gap between processor and memory performance has led to new architectural models for memory-intensive applications. In this paper, we use a set of memory-intensive ...
