: Design patterns have been developed to cope with the vast space of possible different designs within object-oriented systems. One of those classic patterns is the Visitor Pattern...
Many authors have implied dependency cycles are widespread among the classes of object-oriented software systems. Proponents of the design principle Avoid cyclic dependencies amon...
One of the topics of paramount importance in the development of Grid middleware is the impact of faults, since their probability of occurrence in a Grid infrastructure and in larg...
In real sensor network deployments, spatial distributions of sensors are usually far from being uniform. Such networks often contain regions without enough sensor nodes, which we ...
In this paper we present a new approach to derive heavy-traffic asymptotics for polling models. We consider the classical cyclic polling model with exhaustive or gated service at ...
