Location-awareness and prediction of future locations is an important problem in pervasive and mobile computing. In cellular systems (e.g., GSM) the serving cell is easily availabl...
We explore foundational typing support for strong updates — updating a memory cell to hold values of unrelated types at different points in time. We present a simple, but expres...
Numerical methods for solving the systems of partial differential equations arising in geophysical fluid dynamics rely on a variety of spatial discretization schemes (e.g. finit...
Relational database systems have traditionally optimzed for I/O performance and organized records sequentially on disk pages using the N-ary Storage Model (NSM) (a.k.a., slotted p...

In this paper, we investigate the practical performance of lock-free techniques that provide synchronization on shared-memory multiprocessors. Our goal is to provide a technique t...
