— Wireless sensor networks are increasingly being employed for potentially hazardous and critical applications such as monitoring the gas concentration levels in a battle field....
Grid systems are well-known for its high performance computing or large data storage with inexpensive devices. They can be categorized into two major types: computational grid and ...
Exploiting directional antenna technology in wireless networks has become an attractive option because of the potential capacity increase through spatial reuse. Such development a...
—In this paper, we address the key problem in real-time video coding, the rate-distortion (R-D) tradeoff. As most video coding applications employ color images, we analyze the R-...
We propose in this paper a heuristic for mapping a set of interacting tasks of a parallel application onto a heterogeneous computing platform such as a computational grid. Our nov...
