Little work has been completed which addresses the logical composition and use of ternary relationships in entity-relationship modeling. Many modeling notations and most CASE tool...
A shaper is a system that stores incoming bits in a bu er and delivers them as early as possible, while forcing the output to be constrained with a given arrival curve. A shaper i...
This paper envisions a distributed network storage service with Quality-ofService (QoS) guarantees, and describes its architecture and key mechanisms. When fully realized, this se...
Scheduling DAGs with communication times is the theoretical basis for achieving efficient parallelism on distributed memory systems. We generalize Graham's task-level in a ma...
The upstream activities of software development projects are often viewed as both the most important, the least understood, and hence the most problematic. This is particularly no...
