Sensor and Actor Networks (SANETs) represent a specific class of massively distributed systems in which classical communication protocols often fail due to scalability problems. N...
This paper presents a new workload model, called the state-dependent deadline model, for applications whose high-level timing requirements may change with time. The problem is how...
We consider the problem of implementing shared objects in uniprocessor and multiprocessor real-time systems in which tasks are executed using a scheduling quantum. In most quantum...
Auditory icons add valuable functionality to computer interfaces, particularly when they are parameterized to convey dimensional information. They are difficult to create and mani...
Scientific workflows have recently emerged as a new paradigm for representing and managing complex distributed scientific computations and data analysis, and have enabled and acce...
