— Pervasive and ubiquitous computing is enabling the implementation of “smart environments”, i.e., environments where applications support and enhance the abilities of their ...
The high performance switch plays a critical role in the high performance computer (HPC) system. The applications of HPC not only demand on the low latency and high bandwidth of t...
The centralised management of distributed computing infrastructures presents a number of considerable challenges, not least of which is the effective monitoring of physical resour...
In this paper, we describe a new indexing technique, the time indez, for improving the performance of certain classes of temporal queries. The time index can be used to retrieve v...
Fluctuations of work-in-progress (WIP) levels cause variability of cycle time and often lead to productivity losses in semiconductor wafer fabrication plants. To identify sources ...
