Today, a wide range of 802.11-based Wireless LANs (WLANs) have become dominant to provide wireless Internet access for file transfers. For engineering purposes, there is a need fo...
The threat of soft error induced system failure in high performance computing systems has become more prominent, as we adopt ultra-deep submicron process technologies. In this pap...
In this paper the Northrhine-Westphalian metacomputing initiative is described. We start by discussing various general aspects of metacomputing and explain the reasons for founding...
Mobile sensing is difficult without power. Emerging Computational RFIDs (CRFIDs) provide both sensing and generalpurpose computation without batteries--instead relying on small ca...
