— Although efficient processing of probabilistic databases is a well-established field, a wide range of applications are still unable to benefit from these techniques due to t...
Set agreement, where processors decisions constitute a set of outputs, is notoriously harder to analyze than consensus where the decisions are restricted to a single output. This ...
Recent technological advances have opened up several distributed real-time applications involving battery-driven embedded devices with local processing and wireless communication ...
As the last-level on-chip caches in chip-multiprocessors increase in size, the physical locality of on-chip data becomes important for delivering high performance. The non-uniform...
Abstract. We discuss a case study for the hospital scenario where workflow model components are distributed across various computers or devices (e.g. mobile phones, PDAs, sensors, ...
