This paper shows that Appel-style garbage collectors often make suboptimal decisions both in terms of when and how to collect. We argue that garbage collection should be done when ...
Pervasive and ad hoc computing applications are frequently deployed in dynamic networks. Due to mobility of the computing nodes, their unreliability, or a limited communication ra...
Abstract. The need to use position-dependent parameters often hamdefinition of flexible, extensible, and reusable abstractions for software composition. This observation has led ...
