Using directional antennas in wireless ad hoc networks can significantly improve network performance. However, the deafness problem greatly limits the network performance. This pa...
Protocols which solve agreement problems are essential building blocks for fault tolerant distributed applications. While many protocols have been published, little has been done ...
We discuss the design of the Intermediary Agent's brain, the control module of an embodied conversational virtual peer in a simulation game aimed at providing learning experi...
Motivated by the paradigm of event-based monitoring, which can potentially alleviate the inherent bandwidth and energy constraints associated with wireless sensor networks, we con...
Low disk throughput is one of the main impediments to improving the performance of data-intensive servers. In this paper, we propose two management techniques for the disk control...
