We conducted interviews with sixteen members of teams that worked across global time zone differences. Despite time zone differences of about eight hours, collaborators still foun...
DTA (Decoupled Threaded Architecture) is designed to exploit fine/medium grained Thread Level Parallelism (TLP) by using a distributed hardware scheduling unit and relying on exi...
WiseMAC is a medium access control protocol designed for wireless sensor networks. This protocol is based on non-persistent CSMA and uses the preamble sampling technique to minimiz...
Conventional concurrency control protocols are inapplicable in mobile computing environments due to a number of constraints of wireless communications. In this paper, we design a p...
- Current industry trends in system design -- multiple clocks, clocks with arbitrary frequency ratios, multi-phased clocks, gated clocks, and level-sensitive latches, combined with...
