Abstract. We propose a pattern-based software development method comprising analysis (using problem frames) and design (using architectural and design patterns), of which especiall...
Software performance based on performance models can be applied at early phases of the software development cycle to characterize the quantitative behavior of software systems. We...
Emerging large scale utility computing systems like Grids promise computing and storage to be provided to end users as a utility. System management services deployed in the middle...
We consider the case of sparse mobile sensors deployed to implement missions in challenging environments. This paper explores a notion of tour networks that is well suited to circ...
Abstract— Despite years of research and development, pioneering deployments of multihop wireless networks have not proven successful. The performance of routing and transport is ...
