We consider the problem of interconnecting a simple type of social network: Instant Messaging services. Today, users are members of various IM communities such as AOL, Yahoo, and ...
Processor Idle Cycle Aggregation (PICA) is a promising approach for low power execution of processors, in which small memory stalls are aggregated to create a large one, and the p...
Quorums are a basic construct in solving many fundamental distributed computing problems. One of the known ways of making quorums scalable and efficient is by weakening their int...
