A power describes the ability of an agent to act in some way. While this notion of power is critical in the context of organisational dynamics, and has been studied by others in t...
Dynamic fault-tolerance management (DFTM) was previously introduced as a means of providing environmentand workload-driven adaptation for failure-prone battery powered systems. Th...
Large real-time software systems such as real-time Java virtual machines often use barrier protocols, which work for a dynamically varying number of threads without using centrali...
Abstract— There is a clear trend of future embedded systems in moving toward wireless, multimedia, multi-functional and ubiquitous applications. This emerges new challenges in th...
— In many devices, wireless network interfaces consume upwards of 30% of scarce portable system energy. Extending the system lifetime by minimizing communication power consumptio...
