Parallel programming is elusive. The relative performance of di erent parallel implementations varies with machine architecture, system and problem size. How to compare di erent i...
Database queries, in particular, event-driven continuous queries, are useful for many pervasive computing applications, such as video surveillance. In order to enable these applic...
Network of workstation (NOW) is a cost-effective alternative to massively parallel supercomputers. As commercially available off-theshelf processors become cheaper and faster, it...
We propose a cluster-based web server where a few computing nodes are separately reserved for high-performance computing applications, such as multimedia, SSL, and CGI. As an exam...
Effective integration of heterogeneous data sources has been studied as the most pressing challenge in various fields; such as, high energy physics, astronomy, and life sciences. ...
