We study a basic problem in Multi-Queue switches. A switch connects m input ports to a single output port. Each input port is equipped with an incoming FIFO queue with bounded cap...
We present and analyze portable access control mechanisms for large data repositories, in that the customized access policies are stored on a portable device (e.g., a smart card). ...
In this paper we report experience in the use of computational grids in the domain of natural language processing, particularly in the area of information extraction, to create qu...
Emerging Web services standards enable the development of large-scale applications in open environments. In particular, they enable services to be dynamically bound. However, curr...
Job scheduling typically focuses on the CPU with little work existing to include I/O or memory. Time-shared execution provides the chance to hide I/O and long-communication latenc...
