We consider the problem of the exact simulation of random variables Z that satisfy the distributional identity Z L = V Y + (1 − V )Z, where V ∈ [0, 1] and Y are independent, an...
Today's transactional memory systems implement the two-phase-locking (2PL) algorithm which aborts transactions every time a conflict happens. 2PL is a simple algorithm that pr...
Mobile devices are becoming increasingly sophisticated and the latest generation of smart cell phones now incorporates many diverse and powerful sensors. These sensors include GPS...
In the presence of environmental noise, speakers tend to adjust their speech production in an effort to preserve intelligible communication. The noise-induced speech adjustments, c...
Network diagnosis, an essential research topic for traditional networking systems, has not received much attention for wireless sensor networks. Existing sensor debugging tools li...
