Improvements in microprocessor and networking performance have made networks of workstations a very attractive platform for high-end parallel and distributed computing. However, t...
An object database management system (OODBMS) has been often criticized for its alleged insufficient scalability for a large-scale production system. We investigated the scalabili...
When we communicate with others in a most primitive way like face-to-face conversation, we normally gather at a common physical place. This physical constraint has been recognized ...
Currently, the Internet and the World Wide Web on-line business is booming, with traffic, advertising and content growing at sustained exponential rates. However, the full potentia...
In an effort to push the envelope of system performance, microprocessor designs are continually exploiting higher levels of instruction-level parallelism, resulting in increasing ...
