—The limits of application, tuning accuracy and sensitivity of variable IIR digital filters realized as a cascade of several identical sub-filters are investigated in this paper....
In multicluster systems, and more generally, in grids, jobs may require co-allocation, i.e., the simultaneous allocation of resources such as processors and input files in multipl...
In this paper we present the design and implementation of a Pluggable Fault Tolerant CORBA Infrastructure that provides fault tolerance for CORBA applications by utilizing the plu...
