ÐWe study the quality of service (QoS) of failure detectors. By QoS, we mean a specification that quantifies 1) how fast the failure detector detects actual failures and 2) how we...
With increasing chip densities, future microprocessor designs have the opportunity to integrate many of the traditional systemlevel modules onto the same chip as the processor. So...
Virtual private networks (VPNs) allow two or more parties to communicate securely over a public network. Using cryptographic algorithms and protocols, VPNs provide security servic...
In portable applications, the energy consumed by OS and application tasks primarily comes from DC battery source, which is limited and imposes an upper bound to the amount of time...
Researchers in nonphotorealistic rendering (NPR) have investigated a variety of techniques to simulate the styles of artists. Recent work has resulted in methods for pen-and-ink i...
