This paper introduces a new approach to database disk buffering, called the LRU–K method. The basic idea of LRU–K is to keep track of the times of the last K references to pop...

Starting from some simple observations on a popular selection method in Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs)--tournament selection--we highlight a previously-unknown source of inefficien...
To save precious time and space, many games and simulations use static terrain and fixed (or random) reconstruction of areas that a player leaves and later revisits. This can resu...
We propose a distributed on-demand power-management protocol for collecting data in sensor networks. The protocol aims to reduce power consumption while supporting fluctuating dem...
Recent research shows that significant energy saving can be achieved in wireless sensor networks by using mobile elements (MEs) capable of carrying data mechanically. However, th...
