(m,k)-firm constraints have been used to schedule tasks in soft/firm real-time systems under overloaded conditions. In general, they are provided by application designers to guara...
The existing decoupling capacitance optimization approaches meet constraints on input impedance for package. In this paper, we show that using impedance as constraints leads to la...
Distributed peer-to-peer systems rely on voluntary participation of peers to effectively manage a storage pool. In such systems, data is generally replicated for performance and a...

Abstract. An optimization problem arising in the design of optical fibre networks is discussed. A network contains client nodes, each installed on one or more SONET rings. A const...
Abstract. We present a “memory-model-sensitive” approach to validating correctness properties for multithreaded programs. Our key insight is that by specifying both the inter-t...
