We present a static analysis for the automatic generation of symbolic prefetches in a transactional distributed shared memory. A symbolic prefetch specifies the first object to be...
Distributed Shortest-Positioning Time First (D-SPTF) is a request distribution protocol for decentralized systems of storage servers. D-SPTF exploits high-speed interconnects to d...
The increasing popularity of heterogeneous Webenabled devices and wired/wireless connections motivates the diffusion of content adaptation services that enrich the traditional Web...
