Fine-grained dynamic voltage/frequency scaling (DVFS) demonstrates great promise for improving the energy-efficiency of chip-multiprocessors (CMPs), which have emerged as a popula...
—Emerging Web2.0 applications such as virtual worlds or social networking websites strongly differ from usual OLTP applications. First, the transactions are encapsulated in an AP...
Active structures capable of responding to external stimulii represent the emerging frontier in structural design. Robust and real-time sensing, control, and actuation pose fundame...
Software or hardware data cache prefetching is an efficient way to hide cache miss latency. However effectiveness of the issued prefetches have to be monitored in order to maximi...
Abstract-- In this paper we consider the problem of monitoring a known set of stationary features (or locations of interest) in an environment. To observe a feature, a robot must v...
