Most recent embedded systems use caches to improve their average performance. Current timing analyses are able to compute safe timing guarantees for these systems, if tasks are ru...
We try to close the gap between theoretical investigations of wireless network topologies and realistic wireless environments. For point-to-point communication, we examine theoret...
Data prefetching, where data is fetched before CPU demands for it, has been considered as an effective solution to mask data access latency. However, the current client-initiated ...
The emergence of mobile ad hoc sensor networks has brought new challenges to traditional network design. This paper focuses on the study at the application layer. In specific, it...
Quality and risk concerns currently limit the application of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software components to non-critical applications. Software metrics can quantify factor...
