—The design of scheduling policies for wireless data systems has been driven by a compromise between the objectives of high overall system throughput and the degree of fairness a...
Minimizing the computing infrastructure (such as processors) in a distributed real-time embedded (DRE) system deployment helps reduce system size, weight, power consumption, and c...

Developing user interfaces for a heterogeneous environment is a difficult challenge. Partial distribution of the user interface is an event harder one. Specifically providing de...
The interesting properties of P2P systems (high availability despite peer volatility, support for heterogeneous architectures, high scalability, etc.) make them attractive for dist...
