Through web service technology, distributed applications can be built in a exible manner, bringing tremendous power to applications on the web. However, this exibility poses sig...
Abstract. This text is an informal review of several randomized algorithms that have appeared over the past two decades and have proved instrumental in extracting efficiently quant...
Abstract. Software systems obey the 80/20 rule: aggressively optimizing a vital few execution paths yields large speedups. However, finding the vital few paths can be difficult, e...
Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) can be used in Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS) to inspect application data contained within network flows. An IPS operating on high-speed...
Consider the classical online scheduling problem where jobs that arrive one by one are assigned to identical parallel machines with the objective of minimizing the makespan. We gen...
