We present a loosely coupled parallel algorithm for the placement of standard cell integrated circuits. Our algorithm is a derivative of simulated annealing. The implementation of...
Agents for Alignment into strategy Experience (ALEX agents), a type of recommender agent (RA), are proposed here as a means of helping employees to perform tasks in line with the ...
From personal software to advanced systems, caching mechanisms have steadfastly been a ubiquitous means for reducing workloads. It is no surprise, then, that under the grid and clu...
We consider cluster systems with multiple nodes where each server is prone to run tasks at a degraded level of service due to some software or hardware fault. The cluster serves t...
Many researchers and practitioners in user experience design have turned towards social sciences to find ways to understand the social contexts in which both users and technologie...
