Unlike their hard realtime counterparts, soft realtime applications are only expected to guarantee their ”expected delay” over input data space. This paradigm shift calls for ...
Many key pre-distribution techniques have been developed recently to establish pairwise keys for wireless sensor networks. To further improve these schemes, researchers have propo...
Abstract. It is generally accepted that some of the problems and ambiguities at the low level of processing can not be resolved without taking into account contextual expectations....
Abstract. Version Control Systems (VCS) have always played an essential role for developing reliable software. Recently, many new ways of utilizing the information hidden in VCS ha...
Abstract. The MPI Standard does not make any performance guarantees, but users expect (and like) MPI implementations to deliver good performance. A common-sense expectation of perf...
