Uniprocessor schedulability theory made great strides, in part, due to the simplicity of composing the delay of a job from the execution times of higher-priority jobs that preempt...
RFID middleware systems collect and filter RFID streaming data gathered continuously by numerous readers to process requests from applications. These requests are called continuou...
Network calculus is a min-plus system theory which facilitates the efficient derivation of performance bounds for networks of queues. It has successfully been applied to provide e...
Scaling feature size improves processor performance but increases each device’s susceptibility to defects (i.e., hard errors). As a result, fabrication technology must improve s...
Informally, an obfuscator O is an efficient, probabilistic “compiler” that transforms a program P into a new program O(P) with the same functionality as P, but such that O(P)...
