The performance of most embedded systems is critically dependent on the memory hierarchy performance. In particular, higher cache hit rate can provide significant performance boos...
Our objective is to improve the performance of keyword based image search engines by re-ranking their baseline results. To this end, we address three limitations of existing searc...
A major concern for large-scale deployment of location-based services (LBSs) is the potential abuse of their client location data, which may imply sensitive personal information. ...
We analyze the performance of protocols for load balancing in distributed systems based on no-regret algorithms from online learning theory. These protocols treat load balancing a...
The central idea behind interface-based design is to describe components by a component interface. In contrast to a component description that describes what a component does, a c...
