Data flow process networks are a good model of computation for streaming multimedia applications incorporating audio, video and/or graphics streams. Process networks are concurre...
erse approaches at all levels of abstraction starting from the physical level up to the system level. Experience shows that a highlevel method may have a larger impact since the de...
High-volume, high-speed data streams may overwhelm the capabilities of stream processing systems; techniques such as data prioritization, avoidance of unnecessary processing and o...
Commodity computer clusters are often composed of hundreds of computing nodes. These generally off-the-shelf systems are not designed for high reliability. Node failures therefore...
As system integration evolves and tighter design constraints must be met, it becomes necessary to account for the non-ideal behavior of all the elements in a system. Certain devic...
