A multi-object operation incurs communication or synchronization overhead when the requested objects are distributed over different nodes. The object pair correlations (the probab...
We introduce a method for providing lightweight daemons, called simplifiers, that attach themselves to program data. If a data item has a simplifier, the simplifier may be run aut...
Abstract. Computer mobility allows people to use computers in varied and changing environments. This variability forces applications to adapt thus requiring awareness of the comput...
: The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and the Telecommunication Standardization Sector of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU-T) have undertaken a joint effort to...
We investigate the problem of sleep/wake scheduling for low duty cycle sensor networks. Our work differs from prior work in that we explicitly consider the effect of synchronizati...
