Prior research in software environments focused on three important problems-- tool integration, artifact management, and process guidance. The context for that research, and hence...
The BaBar experiment at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) is designed to perform a high precision investigation of the decays of the B-meson produced from electron-pos...
Quorums are a basic construct in solving many fundamental distributed computing problems. One of the known ways of making quorums scalable and efficient is by weakening their int...
Good network hardware performance is often squandered by overheads for accessing the network interface (NI) within a host. NIs that support user-level messaging avoid frequent ope...
For long, node cooperation has been exploited as a data relaying mechanism. However, the wireless channel allows for much richer interaction between nodes. One such scenario is in...
