Abstract. Distributed heterogeneous search environments are an emerging phenomenon in Web search, in which topic-specific search engines provide search services, and metasearchers...
Efficient determination of processing termination at barrier synchronization points can occupy an important role in the overall throughput of parallel and distributed computing sy...
Communication through relay channels in wireless sensor networks can create diversity and consequently improve robustness of data transmission for ubiquitous computing and network...
—While computing speed continues increasing rapidly, data-access technology is lagging behind. Data-access delay, not the processor speed, becomes the leading performance bottlen...
