In this paper, we present an efficient hardware architecture for real-time implementation of intra prediction algorithm used in H.264 / MPEG4 Part 10 video coding standard. The ha...
Service-oriented architectures (SOAs) are a commonly used paradigm for IT infrastructures in various fields. Due to their flexibility and the easy accessibility of their underly...
In this work, we develop a hierarchical load testing architecture using large scale virtual clients to reduce the testing time and ensure the stability of the server for distribut...
The Multi-agent Systems (MASs) paradigm continues to consolidate itself as a new branch of software engineering. Traditional software engineering strongly recommends to apply metr...
Grid applications must increasingly self-adapt dynamically to changing environments. In most cases, adaptation has been implemented in an ad hoc fashion, on a perapplication basis...
