Recent and future parallel clusters and supercomputers use SMPs and multi-core processors as basic nodes, providing a huge amount of parallel resources. These systems often have h...
With standard assumptions the routing and wavelength assignment problem (RWA) can be viewed as a Markov Decision Process (MDP). The problem, however, defies an exact solution bec...
Distributed real-time systems require a predictable and verifiable mechanism to control the communication medium. Current real-time communication protocols are typically independe...
— In cellular networks, relays and/or mobiles can cooperate to improve the overall system performance. For example, once the transmission from a base station with multiple antenn...
process: Designers must define higher abstraction levels that allow system modeling. They must use description languages that handle both hardware and software components to descri...
