Abstract. Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) exhibit high levels of network dynamics and consist of devices with limited energy. This results in the need to coordinate applications no...
Distributed multimedia applications will be an important part of tomorrow's application mix and require appropriate operating system (OS) support. Neither hard real-time solu...
Initial versions of MPI were designed to work efficiently on multi-processors which had very little job control and thus static process models. Subsequently forcing them to suppor...
