Superscalar microprocessor efficiency is generally not as high as anticipated. In fact, sustained utilization below thirty percent of peak is not uncommon, even for fully optimized...
User interruptability has become an important topic of study in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI). However, automatically determining the availability of users is still problematic....
The need for an integrated enterprise-wide set of management information pronounced Data Warehousing the `hot topic' of the early-to-mid 1990's, however, it became unfas...
As IC technologies scale to finer feature sizes, it becomes increasingly difficult to control the relative process variations. The increasing fluctuations in manufacturing process...
The simulation of mobility models such as the random waypoint often cause subtle problems, for example the decay of average speed as the simulation progresses, a difference betwee...
