Data aggregation scheduling, or convergecast, is a fundamental pattern of communication in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), where sensor nodes aggregate and relay data to a sink no...
Most of the hard-real-time scheduling theory for multiprocessor systems assumes independent periodic or sporadic tasks. Such a simple task model is not directly applicable to mode...
Researchers have previously looked into the problem of determining if a given set of security hardening measures can effectively make a networked system secure. Many of them also...
The application of AI planning techniques to manufacturing systems is being widely deployed for all the tasks involved in the process, from product design to production planning an...
— MapReduce has become an effective approach to big data analytics in large cluster systems, where SQL-like queries play important roles to interface between users and systems. H...
