—In a reconfigurable network, lightpath connections can be dynamically changed to reflect changes in traffic conditions. This paper characterizes the gain in traffic capacity tha...
Phoenix is a fault-tolerantreal-time network-attachedstorage device (NASD). Like other NASD architectures, Phoenix provides an object-based interface to data stored on network-att...
Efficient evaluation of spatial join is an important issue in spatial databases. The traditional evaluation strategy is to perform a join of “minimum bounding rectangles” (mbr...
Multicellular organisms create complex patterned structures from identical, unreliable components. Learning how to engineer such robust behavior is important to both an improved un...
