For effective management it is necessary to have methods by which management applications can periodically retrieve large volumes of information from network devices. In this work...
Heartbeat protocols are used by distributed programs to ensure that if a process in a program terminates or fails, then the remaining processes in the program terminate. We presen...
The scheduling of application tasks is a problem that occurs in all multiprocessor systems. This problem becomes even more complicated if the tasks are not independent but are inte...
The exponent of periodicity is an important factor in estimates of complexity of word-unification algorithms. We prove that the exponent of periodicity of a minimal solution of a w...
This paper describes experiments relating to the perception of the roughness of simulated surfaces via the haptic and visual senses. Subjects used a magnitude estimation technique...
