In this paper we investigate two related aspects of the formalization of open interaction systems: how to specify norms, and how to enforce them by means of sanctions. The problem...
Abstract— We developed an automated environment to measure the memory access behavior of applications on high performance clusters. Code optimization for processor caches is cruc...
In this work we evaluate the implementation of a video encoder based on the 3D Wavelet Transform optimized for HyperThreading technology and SMPs. We design several implementation...
Applications that use CORBA as communication layer often have some restrictions for multi-domain deployment. This is particularly true when they have to face firewall/NAT traversa...
