—Characterizing the performance of ad hoc networks is one of the most intricate open challenges; conventional ideas based on information-theoretic techniques and inequalities hav...
Databases are often incomplete because of the presence of disjunctive information, due to con icts, partial knowledge and other reasons. Queries against such databases often ask q...
: A distributed service to model and control contextual information in mobile and ubiquitous computing environments is presented in this paper. We introduce the general user model ...
Performance evaluation is a central issue in the design of complex real-time systems. In this work, we propose an extension of socalled "Max-Plus" algebraic techniques to...
GPUs have recently evolved into very fast parallel co-processors capable of executing general purpose computations extremely efficiently. At the same time, multi-core CPUs evolutio...
