A staggering number of multimedia applications are being introduced every day. Yet, the inordinate delays encountered in retrieving multimedia documents make it difficult to use t...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

Super solutions are a mechanism to provide robustness to constraint programs [10]. They are solutions in which, if a small number of variables lose their values, we are guaranteed ...
—A significant fraction of network events (such as topology or route changes) and the resulting performance degradation stem from premeditated network management and operational...
The theory of latency-insensitive design (LID) was recently invented to cope with the time closure problem in otherwise synchronous circuits and programs. The idea is to allow the...
