Design patterns have been used in object-oriented frameworks such as the IBM San Francisco framework, Apple's Rhaspody, OpenStep, and WebObjects, and DIWB. However, few guide...
We consider a system in which many users run queries to examine subsets of a large object set. The object set is partitioned into files on tape. A single subset of objects will b...
In order to check whether an open system satisfies a desired property, we need to check the behavior of the system with respect to an arbitrary environment. In the most general se...
A Distributed Clustering Algorithm DCA and a Distributed Mobility-Adaptive Clustering DMAC algorithm are presented that partition the nodes of a fully mobile network ad hoc networ...
This paper introduces improvements in partitioning schemes for multiprocessor real-time systems which allow higher processor utilization and enhanced schedulability by using exact...
