Conventional wisdom has been that the performance limitations in the current Internet lie at the edges of the network – i.e last mile connectivity to users, or access links of s...
Disk power management is becoming increasingly important in high-end server and cluster type of environments that execute dataintensive applications. While hardware-only approache...
We compare standard global IR searching with user-centric localized techniques to address the database selection problem. We conduct a series of experiments to compare the retriev...
Local search algorithms are among the standard methods for solving hard combinatorial problems from various areas of Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research. For SAT, some ...
Localization is a fundamental issue of wireless sensor networks that has been extensively studied in the literature. The real-world experience from GreenOrbs, a sensor network sys...
