A wireless sensor network deployment on a glacier in Iceland is described. The system uses power management as well as power harvesting to provide long-term environment sensing. Ad...
Continuous queries are persistent queries that allow users to receive new results when they become available. While continuous query systems can transform a passive web into an ac...

We considered non-clairvoyant multiprocessor scheduling of jobs with arbitrary arrival times and changing execution characteristics. The problem has been studied extensively when ...
Abstract. Several computing environments including wide area networks and nondedicated networks of workstations are characterized by frequent unavailability of the participating ma...
We present a new Monte Carlo method for solving the light transport problem, inspired by the Metropolis sampling method in computational physics. To render an image, we generate a...
