Abstract. Software systems obey the 80/20 rule: aggressively optimizing a vital few execution paths yields large speedups. However, finding the vital few paths can be difficult, e...
Informally, an obfuscator O is an efficient, probabilistic “compiler” that transforms a program P into a new program O(P) with the same functionality as P, but such that O(P)...
Portable embedded systems are being driven by consumer demands to be thermally efficient, perform faster, and have longer battery life. To design such a system, various hardware un...
In this paper, we present an Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA)-based decentralized allocation enforcement system, developed with an emphasis on a consistent data model and ea...
Many useful applications of simulation in computational cell biology, e.g. kinetic parameter estimation, Metabolic Control Analysis (MCA), and bifurcation analysis, require a large...
