We address the vexing issue of deletions in balanced trees. Rebalancing after a deletion is generally more complicated than rebalancing after an insertion. Textbooks neglect delet...
The design phase of any real-time system requires balancing the limited computational resources against the functional requirements and the performance of the application. The opt...
With the increasing clock rate and transistor count of today's microprocessors, power dissipation is becoming a critical component of system design complexity. Thermal and po...
Many decentralized and peer-to-peer applications require some sort of data management. Besides P2P file-sharing, there are already scenarios (e.g. BRICKS project [3]) that need m...
Energy reduction is critical to increase the mobility and to extend the mission period in the development of today’s pervasive computing systems. On the other hand, however, ene...
