Modular design methodologies, which decompose large and complex systems into components that are relatively easy to develop and maintain, have been widely adopted in the software ...
Critical kernels constitute a general framework settled in the of abstract complexes for the study of parallel thinning in any dimension. We take advantage of the properties of thi...
Whilst conventional approach in structural design is based on reliability-calibrated factored design formula, performance-based design customizes a solution to the specific circum...
Modeling the Internet delay structure is an important issue in designing large-scale distributed systems. However, linear models fail to characterize Triangle Inequality Violation...
