Current consumer electronics devices do not interoperate and are hard to use. Devices use proprietary, device-specific and inflexible protocols. Resources across device classes, s...
Computational Grids potentially offer cheap large-scale high-performance systems, but are a very challenging architecture, being heterogeneous, shared and hierarchical. Rather tha...

Abstract. Current trends in software development show a move towards supporting autonomous components (agents). The accurate timing of interactions between such components is growi...
Abstract. Evaluating the implications of an architecture design early in the software development lifecycle is important in order to reduce costs of development. Reliability is an ...
Feedback-directed optimization has become an increasingly important tool in designing and building optimizing compilers. Recently, reuse-distance analysis has shown much promise i...
