The proliferation of mobile computers and wireless networks requires the design of future distributed real-time applications to recognize and deal with the signi cant asymmetry be...
An iterator is proposed that allows to apply sequences of update operations in a set-oriented way with deterministic semantics. Because the mechanism is independent of a particula...
The performance of threads is limited primarily by the overhead of two kinds of switching: vertical switching (user/kernel domain switching) and horizontal switching (context swit...
