Embracing service-oriented architectures in the context of large systems, such as the Web, rises a set of new and challenging issues: increased size and load in terms of users and...
Abstract. Every physical event results in a natural information gradient in the proximity of the phenomenon. Moreover, many physical phenomena follow the diffusion laws. This natu...
In this paper, we present an efficient procedure for building a piecewise linear function approximation of the speed function of a processor with hierarchical memory structure. Th...
This paper describes a method for controlling the multi-phase smoke animation that uses Lagrangian particles. Previous methods need several density fields to simulate different typ...
As distributed applications such as Grid and enterprise systems scale up and become increasingly complex, their authorization infrastructures—based predominantly on the request-...
