For computer-automated design systems to scale to complex designs they must be able to produce designs that exhibit the characteristics of modularity, regularity and hierarchy –...
Recent theoretical and simulation-based studies have confirmed the tremendous benefit of peer-to-peer (P2P) communication at reducing the cost of running a VoD service. To date,...
Group communication, providing virtual synchrony semantics, is a powerful paradigm for building distributed applications. For applications that require a large number of groups, s...
Datapath width optimization is very effective for reducing the area of a custom-made embedded system. The trivial way of optimization is to iteratively customize, evaluate, and r...
Apparently computer technology is shifting its focus, with individual users not being the main target any more. The evolution of Web 2.0 technologies is promoting the development ...
