Information retrieval algorithms leverage various collection statistics to improve performance. Because these statistics are often computed on a relatively small evaluation corpus...
Energy recovery clocking results in significant energy savings in clock distribution networks as compared to conventional squarewave clocking. However, since energy recovery clock...

In this paper, we analyze the problem of network disconnection in the context of large-scale P2P networks and understand how both static and dynamic patterns of node failure affec...
Supporting high availability by checkpointing and switching to a backup upon failure of a primary has a cost. Trade-off studies help system architects to decide whether higher ava...
A framework to assess transient performance measures is introduced by generalizing the theory of the quasi Birthand-Death (QBD) paradigm to QBDs with marked time epochs (QBDm ). T...
