In this paper, we introduce a modified version of the IEEE 802.11a protocol and evaluate its performance. The new protocol is a combination of the standard Medium Access Control (...
Simulation is widely used for performance analysis of Personal Communication Systems due to their inherent complexity. However, resource demands (cpu-time and memory requirements)...
Data-shipping systems that allow inter-transaction caching raise the need of a transactional cache consistency maintenance (CCM) protocol because each client is able to cache a po...
In common with many large institutes, CERN has traditionally developed and maintained its own data management solutions. Recently, a significant change of direction has taken plac...
Efficiency of synchronization mechanisms can limit the parallel performance of many shared-memory applications. In addition, the ever increasing performance gap between processor...
