This case study discusses two related aspects that are becoming increasingly important in today’s software development practice: re-engineering of a monolithic system into a com...
The objective of this paper is to extend, in the context of multicore architectures, the concepts of tile algorithms [Buttari et al., 2007] for Cholesky, LU, QR factorizations to t...
The early 1980s saw the development of some rather sophisticated distributed systems. These were not merely networked file systems: rather, using remote procedure calls, hierarchi...
A number of factors, such as the increasing popularity of wireless networks, the opportunities offered by 3G services, and the rapid proliferation of mobile devices, have stimulat...
