Reducing the energy consumption by wireless communication devices is perhaps the most important issue in the widely-deployed and exponentially-growing IEEE 802.11 Wireless LANs (W...
This paper presents an energy-conservation method for multiple disks and their cache memory. Our method periodically resizes the cache memory and controls the rotation speeds unde...
We present a surprisingly simple system that allows for robust normal reconstruction by dense photometric stereo, in the presence of severe shadows, highlight, transparencies, com...
Distributed databases and other networked information systems use copies or mirrors to reduce latency and to increase availability. Copies need to be refreshed. In a loosely coupl...
