Idle desktops have been successfully used to run sequential and master-slave task parallel codes on a large scale in the context of volunteer computing. However, execution of messa...
The ability to continue increasing processor frequency and single thread performance is being severely limited by exponential increases in leakage and active power. To continue to...
The deluge of available data for analysis demands the need to scale the performance of data mining implementations. With the current architectural trends, one of the major challen...
A recent trend in Ubiquitous Computing is that embedded software (e.g. in production machines, wired or wireless networked sensors and actuators, or RFID readers) directly offers W...
Abstract—Increasing interest in sensor networking and ubiquitous computing has created a trend towards embedding more and more intelligence into our surroundings. This enables th...
