Runtime adaptation is recognized as a viable way for a serviceoriented system to meet QoS requirements in its volatile operating environment. In this paper we propose a methodolog...
The common usage patterns of 2D drivers for the X Window System have changed over time. New extensions such as Render and Composite are creating new demands for 2D rendering which...
Most security protocols share a similar set of algorithms and functions and exhibit common sequences and patterns in the way they operate. These observations led us to propose a u...
The Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) model for fine-grained parallelism was recently extended to support SIMD operations on disjoint vector elements. In this paper we demon...
In most modern operating systems, a process is a -protected abstraction for isolating code and data. This protection, however, is selective. Many common mechanisms—dynamic code ...
