Multi-tier architectures are widely used by internet applications. Guaranteeing the performance, and more generally the quality of service (QoS), of such applications remains a cr...
We introduce the notion of resiliency policies in the context of access control systems. Such policies require an access control system to be resilient to the absence of users. An...
Abstract— Rotary traveling-wave oscillator (RTWO) is a recently proposed transmission-line approach for multi-gigahertz rate clock generation. RTWO has the characteristics of bot...
We describe the results of a set of evolutionary experiments in which a simulated robotic arm provided with a two-fingered hand has to reach and grasp objects with different shape...
The progressive processing model allows a system to trade off resource consumption against the quality of the outcome by mapping each activity to a graph of potential solution met...
