While many researchers believe that multimedia applications are best managed with hard, real-time scheduling mechanisms, models based on application-level adaptation with relaxed s...
Abstract. Lazy task creation (LTC) is an e cient approach for executing divide and conquer parallel programs that has been used in the implementation of Multilisp's future con...
We describe the design of a runtime system for a fine-grained concurrent object-oriented (actor) language and its performance. The runtime system provides considerable flexibility...
This paper describes a software framework to aid in designing and implementing convenient manipulation behaviors for objects in a 3D virtual environment. A combination of almost r...
Abstract. We present a technique for designing reconfiguration controllers in the Fractal component-based framework. We obtain discrete control loops that automatically enforce saf...
