In this paper we propose a novel late join algorithm for distributed applications with a fully replicated architecture (e.g. shared whiteboards). The term `late join algorithm'...
Pairwise coverage of factors affecting software has been proposed to screen for potential errors. Techniques to generate test suites for pairwise coverage are evaluated according ...
A VOD server handles various types of media such as continuous media (CM) and non-continuous media (NM). Conventional VOD server buffer scheduling algorithms like Round Robin (RR)...
A constraint satisfiability problem consists of a set of variables, their associated domains (i.e., the set of values the variable can take) and a set of constraints on these vari...
The advent of electronic commerce enables retailers to set prices via automated algorithms. This paper employs the method of experimental economics to examine human behavior in en...
