—Code smells are poor implementation choices, thought to make object-oriented systems hard to maintain. In this study, we investigate if classes with code smells are more change-...
Abstract—The main challenge when implementing cryptographic algorithms in hardware is to protect them against attacks that target directly the device. Two strategies are customar...
Abstract—When applied in a commercial deployment, DHTbased P2P protocols face a dilemma: although most real-world participants are so unstable that the maintenance overhead is pr...
Abstract—We present LeWI: a novel load balancing algorithm, that can balance applications with very different patterns of imbalance. Our algorithm can balance fine grain imbalan...
Abstract— This paper presents ICS-AVOID, a collision avoidance scheme based upon the concept of Inevitable Collision State (ICS), ie a state for which, no matter what the future ...
