3-dimensional integrated circuit (3D IC) technology places circuit blocks in the vertical dimension in addition to the conventional horizontal plane. Compared to conventional plan...
This paper explores a novel application of queuing theory to the corrective software maintenance problem to support quantitative balancing between resources and responsiveness. In...
The dynamics of peer participation, or churn, are an inherent property of Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems and critical for design and evaluation. Accurately characterizing churn requir...
The progress towards programming methodologies that simplify the work of the programmer involves automating, whenever possible, activities that are secondary to the main task of d...
Commodity computer clusters are often composed of hundreds of computing nodes. These generally off-the-shelf systems are not designed for high reliability. Node failures therefore...
