Replication on multiple nodes is an effective way to improve the availability in the P2P or grid environment. It is difficult to determine how many replicas can fulfill the user r...
FPGAs have been used in many applications to achieve orders-of-magnitude improvement in absolute performance and energy efficiency relative to conventional microprocessors. Despit...
Abstract. We de ne a concurrent mobile system as one where independently executing components may migrate through some space during the course of the computation, and where the pat...
In pervasive computing environments, conditions are highly variable and resources are limited. In order to meet the needs of applications, systems must adapt dynamically to changi...
