This paper proposes a cache hierarchy that enables Web search engines to efficiently process user queries. The different caches in the hierarchy are used to store pieces of data w...
In previous papers [5,6], an optical switch architecture was proposed to handle variable-length packets such as IP datagrams, based on an AWG device to route packets and equipped w...
Two important performance metrics in collaborative systems are local and remote response times. Previous analytical and simulation work has shown that these response times depend ...
As cluster computers are used for a wider range of applications, we encounter the need to deliver resources at particular times, to meet particular deadlines, and/or at the same t...
— In pervasive environment, it is essential for computing applications to be context-aware. However, one of the major challenges is the establishment of a generic and dynamic con...
