Distributed computing systems are becoming bigger and more complex. While the complexity of large-scale distributed systems has been acknowledged to be an important challenge, the...
People accessing documents via the Internet typically experience latencies in retrieving content. We discuss continual-computation policies that dictate strategies for prefetching...
To explore how people conceptualize a complex system, 232 university students were asked to sketch how a search engine works. While the sketches reveal a diverse range of visual a...
One of the tropes of the age of ubiquitous computing is the migration of computation into new spaces. Domestic environments have been a particular focus of attention for many. Howe...
: Several algorithms have been proposed to compute sets of optima, Pareto sets, and sets of Nash equilibria. In this paper, we present a general algorithm for decision-related set ...
