Smartphones enable a new, rich user experience in pervasive computing, but their hardware is still very limited in terms of computation, memory, and energy reserves, thus limiting...
Operating systems can efficiently provide system transactions to user applications, in which user-level processes can execute a series of system calls atomically and in isolation ...
For over forty years, we have assumed hierarchical file system namespaces. These namespaces were a rudimentary attempt at simple organization. As users have begun to interact with...
In this paper, we propose FLUXO, a system that separates an Internet service's logical functionality from the architectural decisions made to support performance, scalability...
