Preventing abusive resource consumption is indispensable for all kinds of systems that execute untrusted mobile code, such as mobile object systems, extensible web servers, and we...
The performance of current transaction processing systems largely depends on human experts for administration and tuning. These experts have to specify a multitude of internal con...
The intent of peer data management systems (PDMS) is to share as much data as possible. However, in many applications leveraging sensitive data, users demand adequate mechanisms to...
This article introduces results on the control of gene networks, in the context of piecewise-affine models. We propose an extension of this well-documented class of models, where ...
Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) is one of the most effective techniques for reducing energy consumption in embedded and real-time systems. However, traditional DVS algorithms have in...
