Database queries, in particular, event-driven continuous queries, are useful for many pervasive computing applications, such as video surveillance. In order to enable these applic...
: Middleware technologies such as CORBA and DCOM have been developed as a means of tackling heterogeneity and complexity problems inherent in distributed systems. However, more wor...
Traditionally, distributed computing problems have been solved by partitioning data into chunks able to be handled by commodity hardware. Such partitioning is not possible in case...
In this paper, we present ParaPART, a parallel version of a mesh partitioning tool, called PART, for distributed systems. PART takes into consideration the heterogeneities in proce...
Within two or three technology generations, processor architects will face a number of major challenges. Wire delays will become critical, and power considerations will temper the ...
