Being able to model contention for software resources (e.g., a critical section or database lock) is paramount to building performance models that capture all aspects of the delay...
Successfully structuring information in databases, OLAP cubes, and XML is a crucial element in managing data nowadays. However this process brought new challenges to usability. It...
The performance of an optical switch that handles contention resolution using a fiber delay line (FDL) is modeled and evaluated. We propose using a simple optical buffer that con...
Nowadays the 2-Phase-Locking (2PL) concurrency control algorithm still plays a core rule in the construction of transactional systems (e.g. database systems and transactional memo...

Compilers employ system models, sometimes implicitly, to make code optimization decisions. These models are analytic; they reflect their implementor’s understanding and beliefs ...
