Eight years ago, functional dependencies, a concept from the theory of relational databases, were proposed as a mechanism for avoiding common problems with multiple parameter type...
In this paper, we describe the design and implementation of two mechanisms for fault-tolerance and recovery for complex scientific workflows on computational grids. We present our ...
Efficient utilization of multi-core architectures relies on the partitioning of applications into tasks and mapping the tasks to cores. In some applications (e.g. H.264 video deco...
Interest on using mobile autonomous agents has been growing, recently, due to their capacity to cooperate for diverse purposes, from rescue to demining and security. However, such...
Hash functions have a space complexity of O(n) and a possible time complexity of O(1). Thus, packet classifiers exploit hashing to achieve packet classification in wire speed. Esp...
