Nodes in an ad hoc grid are characterized by heterogeneity, autonomy, and volatility. These characteristics result in varying workload of the resource manager in the ad hoc grid. ...
This paper proposes a concurrency model which integrates the asynchronous and event-driven nature of wireless etworks with higher-level abstractions that provide a more familiar p...
An algorithm has been developed to dynamically schedule heterogeneous tasks on heterogeneous processors in a distributed system. The scheduler operates in an environment with dyna...
Though designing a data warehouse requires techniques completely different from those adopted for operational systems, no significant effort has been made so far to develop a comp...
Authentication and key distribution protocols that utilize weak secrets (such as passwords and PINs) are traditionally susceptible to guessing attacks whereby an adversary iterate...
