In distributed hybrid computing systems, traditional sequential processors are loosely coupled with reconfigurable hardware for optimal performance. This loose coupling proves to...
Web search engines crawl the web to fetch the data that they index. In this paper we re-examine that need, and evaluate the network costs associated with data acquisition, and alt...

We consider the problem of designing the the utility functions of the utility-maximizing agents in a multi-agent system (MAS) so that they work synergistically to maximize a globa...
The ubiquitous proliferation of mobile devices has given rise to novel user-centric application and services. In current mobile systems, users gain access to remote service provide...
—Caches made of non-volatile memory technologies, such as Magnetic RAM (MRAM) and Phase-change RAM (PRAM), offer dramatically different power-performance characteristics when com...
