Nested-parallelism programming models, where the task graph associated to a computation is series-parallel, present good analysis properties that can be exploited for scheduling, c...
Currently, the most adopted criterion to invoke garbage collection is heap space exhaustion. In other words, garbage collection is invoked when the heap space (either the entire s...
We describe an approach to sensor-based authentication that can adapt to accommodate incomplete, unreliable, or inaccurate input provided to the system. Parameterized Authenticatio...

Many processor architectures provide a set of addressing modes in their address generation units. For example DSPs (digital signal processors) have powerful addressing modes for e...
The Crossed-Slits (X-Slits) camera is defined by two nonintersecting slits, which replace the pinhole in the common perspective camera. Each point in space is projected to the im...
