We describe Spectra, a remote execution system for batterypowered clients used in pervasive computing. Spectra enables applications to combine the mobility of small devices with t...
High-performance computing faces considerable change as the Internet and the Grid mature. Applications that once were tightly-coupled and monolithic are now decentralized, with co...

In the directed acyclic graph (dag) model of algorithms, consider the following problem for precedence-constrained multiprocessor schedules for array computations: Given a sequenc...
Emerging computational paradigms such as global and ubiquitous computing require some rethinking and innovative research ideas in many computer science areas. In this work, we aim...
We present an algorithm for computing the distance between two free-form surfaces. Using line geometry, the distance computation is reformulated as a simple instance of a surface-...
