We develop a computational method for simulating models of gel dynamics where the gel is described by two phases, a networked polymer and a fluid solvent. The models consist of tra...
Play-on-demand is usually regarded as a feasible access mode for web content (including streaming video, web pages and so on), web services and some Software-As-A-Service (SaaS) a...
In this paper we present a technique for reducing response delay for web systems, which is based on a proactive cache scheme. It combines predictive pre-fetching and streaming to ...
We consider a hybrid wireless sensor network with regular and transmit-only sensors. The transmit-only sensors do not have receiver circuit, hence are cheaper and less energy consu...
People intuitively understand that function and purpose are critical parts of what human-configured entities are about, but these notions have proved difficult to capture formally....
