Increasingly, new applications are being built by composing existing software components rather than by coding a system from scratch. Using this approach, applications can be buil...
In this paper we propose the OPTNET, a novel optical network and associated coherence protocol for scalable multiprocessors. The network divides its channels into broadcast and po...
As software engineering efforts move to more complex, distributed environments, coordinating the activities of people and tools becomes very important. While groupware systems add...
A research project with distributed electronic teams was conducted to examine how virtual temporary teams quickly develop and maintain trust relationships with people that they ha...
Modern architectural trends in instruction-level parallelism (ILP) are to increase the computational power of microprocessors significantly. As a result, the demands on memory ha...
