Prior research on schedulability bounds focused primarily on bounding utilization as a means to meet deadline constraints. Non-trivial bounds were found for a handful of schedulin...
(m,k)-firm constraints have been used to schedule tasks in soft/firm real-time systems under overloaded conditions. In general, they are provided by application designers to guara...
Particle systems, as originally proposed by Witkin and Heckbert [17], are a powerful way to sample implicit surfaces since they generate almost evenly distributed samples over the...
Sparse Low-degree IMplicit (SLIM) surface [11] is a recently developed non-conforming surface representation. In this paper, a method for free-form deformation of SLIM surfaces is...
Current service discovery and subscription are “provider-centric” indeed, which costs the consumers too many efforts and makes the wide spectrum of QoS hard to use. In this po...
