—Multi-channel operation in wireless systems has been proposed to increase user throughput and reduce transmission delays. However, multi-channel operation requires adequate reso...
Recent research has shown that one can use Distributed Hash Tables (DHTs) to build scalable, robust and efficient applications. One question that is often left unanswered is that ...
In-memory data sharing for grids allow location-transparent access to data stored in volatile memory. Existing Grid middlewares typ- ically support only explicit data transfer betw...
Some popular computing technologies, such as ubiquitous computing, grid computing and thin-client computing, bring people to a much more distributed and pervasive computing enviro...
Searching for non-text data (e.g., images) is mostly done by means of metadata annotations or by extracting the text close to the data. However, supporting real content-based audi...
