Fragmentation can cause serious loss of memory in systems that are using dynamic memory management. Any useful memory management system must therefore provide means to limit fragm...
Wide-area distributed systems like computational grids are emergent infrastructures for high-performance parallel applications. On these systems, communication mechanisms have to ...
Every notion of a component for the development of embedded systems has to take heterogeneity into account: components may be hardware or software or OS, synchronous or asynchrono...
Content-based publish/subscribe (pub/sub) is a promising paradigm for building asynchronous distributed applications. In many application scenarios, these systems are required to ...
Traditional studies of routing problems often assumed strict preferences on paths, by eliminating ambiguity in path comparisons, or imposing a priori deterministic tie-breaking. S...
