Communication optimization plays an important role in building networked distributed applications. In this paper, we systematically evaluate four bandwidth reduction algorithms, n...
Distributed estimation of an unknown signal is a common task in sensor networks. The scenario usually envisioned consists of several nodes, each making an observation correlated wi...
Grid services provide an important abstract layer on top of heterogeneous components (hardware and software) that take part into a grid environment. We are developing a data grid s...
: This paper discusses the issues and promising approaches in (1) obtaining rigorous specifications of the quality-of-service (QoS) requirements associated with application functio...
At Rice University, we have undertaken a project to construct a framework for generating high-level problem solving languages that can achieve high performance on a variety of pla...
