Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) are widely used for describing interaction scenarios between the components of a distributed system. Consequently, worst-case response time estimati...
Caches have become invaluable for higher-end architectures to hide, in part, the increasing gap between processor speed and memory access times. While the effect of caches on timi...
We present a static index pruning method, to be used in ad-hoc document retrieval tasks, that follows a documentcentric approach to decide whether a posting for a given term shoul...
Monitoring distributed systems involves the collection, analysis, and display of interactions among managed objects. These functions are carried out by the components of a monitor...
