Recently, there have been proposals for scaling-up a database system using lazy replication. In these proposals, system scale-up is achieved through the addition of secondary site...
In this paper we use game theory to study nodes’ behavior in peer-to-peer networks when nodes receive service based on their reputation. Reputation is used as a mechanism to inc...
One of the problems with Java for real-time systems is the unpredictable behavior of garbage collection (GC). GC introduces unexpected load and causes undesirable delays for real-...
One of the main challenges in getting acceptance for safe object-oriented languages in hard real-time systems is to combine automatic memory management with hard real-time constra...
Recently, efficient custom-hardware designs were proposed for the linear algebra step of the Number Field Sieve integer factoring algorithm. These designs make use of a heuristic ...
