This paper presents a new compiler optimization algorithm that parallelizes applications for symmetric, sharedmemory multiprocessors. The algorithm considers data locality, parall...
An adaptive user interface relies, to a large extent, upon an adequate user model (e.g., a representationof user-expertise). However, building a user model may be a tedious and ti...
This paper presents a component model for building distributed applications with fault-tolerance requirements. The AFT-CCM model selects the configuration of replicated services d...
Uncertainty always exists as an unavoidable factor in any pervasive context-aware applications. This is mostly caused by the imperfectness and incompleteness of data. In this pape...
The growing diffusion of portable devices enables users to benefit from anytime and anywhere impromptu collaboration. Appropriate policy models that take into account the dynamici...
