In this paper we propose techniques to dynamically downsize or upsize a cache accompanied by cache set/line shutdown to produce efficient caches. Unlike previous approaches, resiz...
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) pose challenges not present in classical distributed systems: resource limitations, high failure rates, and ad hoc deployment. The lossy nature of w...
Simulation of existing systems can reinforce a Subject Matter Expert’s gut feelings. However, it is more difficult to develop intuition for proposed systems, particularly when c...

In this paper we suggest the requirements for an open platform designed for the description, distribution and analysis of genetic polymorphism data. This platform is discussed in ...
In distributed real-time systems, an application is often modeled as a set of real-time transactions, where each transaction is a chain of precedence-constrained tasks. Each task ...
