We present a new particle-based approach to sampling and controlling implicit surfaces. A simple constraint locks a set of particles onto a surface while the particles and the sur...
We present a method for fine grain QoS control of multimedia applications. This method takes as input an application software composed of actions parameterized by quality levels. ...
Object-oriented technologies are frequently used to design and implement distributed applications. Object replication is a well-established approach to increase the dependability f...
The new Path Length Control (PLC) algorithm establishes and maintains multicast trees which maximize the bandwidth to be shared by multiple receivers and which satisfy the maximum...
We address the problem of restricting root’s ability to change arbitrary files on disk, in order to prevent abuse on most current desktop operating systems. The approach first...
