This paper examines NFS sensitivity to performance characteristics of emerging networks. We adopt an unusual method of inserting controlled delays into live systems to measure sen...
Workflow systems are an emerging technology which have become increasingly important in the drive for business to provide better services and increase productivity. Intuitively, w...
This paper addresses the problem of reducing the hysteresis found in the actuation of most smart materials. They are divided in two groups: systems with no saturation (e.g. piezoe...
Abstract. We explore a new definition of creativity -- one which emphasizes the statistical capacity of a system to generate previously unseen patterns -- and discuss motivations f...
The notion of lambda-Grids posits plentiful collections of computing and storage resources richly interconnected by dedicated dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical...
