Abstract. A distributed system is fault-tolerant if it continues to perform correctly even when a subset of the processes becomes faulty. Faulttolerance is highly desirable but oft...
We developed a new hierarchical modular approach for synthesis of area-minimal core-based data-intensive systems. The optimization approach employs a novel global least-constraini...
This paper presents EasyVoice, a system that integrates voice synthesis with Skype. EasyVoice allows a person with voice disabilities to talk with another person located anywhere ...
In this paper we present our study on expressive gibberish speech synthesis as a means for affective communication between computing devices, such as a robot or an avatar, and thei...
I/O traces are crucial for understanding the performance of new storage architectures. Unfortunately, traces are extremely bursty and difficult to characterize. They are large, d...
