—Existing cooperative diversity protocols are designed with the inherent assumption that users exhibit cooperative behavior all the time. However, in a practical cooperative wire...
—The application of directional antennas in wireless networks brings numerous benefits, such as increased spatial reuse and mitigated interferences. Most MAC protocols with dire...
Jails, Sandboxes and other isolation mechanisms limit the damage from untrusted programs by reducing a process’s privileges to the minimum. Sandboxing is designed to thwart such...
Future microprocessors will be highly susceptible to transient errors as the sizes of transistors decrease due to CMOS scaling. Prior techniques advocated full scale structural or...
Programming efficiency of heterogeneous concurrent systems is limited by the use of lock-based synchronization mechanisms. Transactional memories can greatly improve the programmi...
