The need to build modular, scalable, and complex technology capable of adaptation, self-assembly, and self-repair has fuelled renewed interest in using approaches inspired by deve...
This paper studies the performance of a multi-rate mobile ad hoc network (MANET) using an extended ns-2 simulator. A link adaptation algorithm is developed and tested. The multi-r...
We describe a system for the texture-based direct volume visualization of large data sets on a PC cluster equipped with GPUs. The data is partitioned into volume bricks in object ...
OLAP queries are typically heavy-weight and ad-hoc thus requiring high storage capacity and processing power. In this paper, we address this problem using a database cluster which...
