Let L be a finite distributive lattice and µ : L → R+ a logsupermodular function. For functions k : L → R+ let Eµ(k; q) def = x∈L k(x)µ(x)qrank(x) ∈ R+ [q]. We prove fo...
Applications that use collections of very large, distributed datasets have become an increasingly important part of science and engineering. With high performance wide-area networ...
The notion of resource reservation for obtaining real-time scheduling guarantees and enforcement of resource usage has gained strong support in recent years. However, much work on...
A design pattern is a mechanism for encapsulating the knowledge of experienced designers into a re-usable artifact. Parallel design patterns reflect commonly occurring parallel co...
