Abstract--If we are to deploy sensor applications in a realistic business context, we must provide innovative middleware services to control and enforce required system behavior; i...
Numerous mathematical approaches have been proposed to determine the optimal checkpoint interval for minimizing total execution time of an application in the presence of failures....
It is well known that the large round trip time and the highly variable delay in a cellular network may degrade the performance of TCP. Many concepts have been proposed to improve ...
This paper presents a comparative analysis of group interaction around two display types, shared and individual, using a `new media' arts application as a way to explore the ...
