Large archival storage systems experience long periods of idleness broken up by rare data accesses. In such systems, disks may remain powered off for long periods of time. These s...

The computational potential of artificial living systems can be studied without knowing the algorithms that govern their behavior. Modeling single organisms by means of socalled c...
Energy conservation is an important issue in the design of embedded systems. Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) and Dynamic Power Management (DPM) are two widely used techniques for sav...
We study the power of reliable anonymous distributed systems, where processes do not fail, do not have identifiers, and run identical programmes. We are interested specifically i...
This paper describes a methodology that could be used by a utility to estimate the actual cost of congestion on its transmission system using limited, non-state estimator data. Th...
