Abstract--Many shared-memory parallel systems use lockbased synchronization mechanisms to provide mutual exclusion or reader-writer access to memory locations. Software locks are i...
We discuss the legacy and processes of creative design, and differentiate it from the type of user-centered design commonly found in CHI. We provide an example of this process, an...

Orthogonal arrays (OA’s) are widely used in design of experiments. Each OA has a specific number of rows that is fixed by the number of factors in the OA and the number of leve...
Reusing or modifying known design concepts cannot meet new challenges for engineering systems. However, engineers can find inspiration outside their traditional domains in order to...
In Human Computer Interaction, plasticity refers to the capacity of User Interfaces (UIs) to withstand variations of context of use while preserving quality in use. Frequently, in...
