We consider the fundamental operation of applying a conjunction of selection conditions to a set of records. With large main memories available cheaply, systems may choose to keep...
— Flow control, including congestion control for data transmission, and rate control for multimedia streaming, is an important issue in information transmission in both wireline ...
Recently, systems providing access to extremely large data collections, managed in a distributed manner, gain emerging attention. A promising approach to implement the physical la...
In this paper, we consider a deadline constrained traffic and analyze the joint effects of packet queuing and adaptive modulation (AM) for packet transmission in MIMO systems. We p...
We exploit recent advances in the physical design of fast optical systems which enable active imaging with "ballistic" light. In this modality, fast bursts of optical en...
