This paper introduces a new benchmark tool for evaluating performance and availability (performability) of networked storage systems, specifically storage area network (SAN) that...
While recent research has advanced our understanding about the structure and dynamics of social tagging systems, we know little about (i) the underlying motivations for tagging (w...
To meet the demands for high simulation fidelity and speed, parallel and distributed simulation techniques are widely used in building wireless sensor network simulators. However,...
