This paper describes a new benchmark for object-relational DBMSs, the Benchmark for Object-Relational Databases (BORD). BORD has been developed to evaluate system performance pecul...
In dynamically changing environments a planning system does not have all the required information at the first place and the world state can change, rendering the original plan i...
The architecture of a software system has a significant impact on its quality of service (QoS) as measured by several performance metrics such as execution time, availability, th...
—Energy-efficient design of battery-powered systems demands optimizations in both hardware and software. We present a modular approach for enhancing instruction level simulators ...
We describe a VRML/Java-based virtual environment that is populated with heterogeneous articulated agents. In this simulated environment, agents compete for collecting certain obj...
