This paper describes two design patterns that are powerful tools to help teach how semaphores are used to solve synchronization problems. The patterns are general enough to be use...
Since the ARPAnet, network designers have built localized mechanisms for statistical multiplexing, load balancing, and failure resilience, often without understanding the broader ...

Sensornet lifespan and utility is limited by the energy resources of individual motes. Network designers seek to maximise energy efficiency while maintaining acceptable Quality o...
Design patterns encode proven solutions to recurring design problems. To use a design pattern properly, we need to 1) understand the design problem the pattern resolves, 2) recogn...
We propose a variation of the standard genetic algorithm that incorporates social interaction between the individuals in the population. Our goal is to understand the evolutionary...
