We revisit the device-driver architecture supported by the majority of operating systems, where a driver is a passive object that does not have its own thread of control and is on...
A very long instruction word (VLIW) processorexploits parallelism by controlling multiple operations in a single instruction word. This paper describes the architecture and compil...

Although IP-multicast has been proposed and investigated for years, there are major problems inherent in the IP-multicasting technique, e.g., difficulty to scale up the system, di...
In this paper a secure error-signalling scheme for packetswitched network architectures is presented. Current solutions are based on the Internet Control Message Protocol to deliv...
Current developments show that tomorrow’s information systems and applications will no longer be based on monolithic architectures that encompass all the functionality. Rather, t...
