Open source workflow systems in life sciences informatics
(2012)
A simple yet powerful programming tool enabling in silico experimentation, end-to-end data management through web services as well as use of grid and cloud processing power is scientific workflows. This technology is ...
The connected vitality system: Enhancing social presence for older adults
(2013)
The social isolation of older adults in Europe is a key and continuously growing issue that demands immediate attention. Older adults might feel isolated and lonely mainly because they lack human contact and social support. ...
RVC: A mechanism for time-analyzable real-time processors with faulty caches
(2011)
Geometry scaling due to technology evolution as well as Vcc scaling lead to failures in large SRAM arrays such as caches. Faulty bits can be tolerated from the average performance perspective, but make critical realtime ...
RVC-based time-predictable faulty caches for safety-critical systems
(2011)
Technology and Vcc scaling lead to significant faulty bit rates in caches. Mechanisms based on disabling faulty parts show to be effective for average performance but are unacceptable in safety critical systems where ...
Business-Oriented Evaluation of the PaaSage Platform
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)
Cloud computing is an efficient and cost effective realization of the utility function principle. Over the last years, a vast pool of choices for businesses has been created. This diversity of cloud infrastructures, ...
A framework for dynamic validation of context-aware applications
(2012)
The development of context-aware applications is a complex process that involves the tasks of analysis, design, validation and implementation. This process is typically performed using context modelling approaches that ...
A distributed algorithm for gathering many fat mobile robots in the plane
(2013)
We revisit the problem of gathering autonomous robots in the plane. In particular, we consider non-transparent unit-disc robots (i.e., fat) in an asynchronous setting with vision as the only means of coordination and robots ...
Enhancing virtual reality systems with smart wearable devices
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
The proliferation of wearable and smartphone devices with embedded sensors has enabled researchers and engineers to study and understand user behavior at an extremely high fidelity, particularly for use in industries such ...
A utility-based adaptivity model for mobile applications
(2007)
Mobile environments are characterized by resource fluctuations and limitations, and variations in user preferences. Therefore mobile applications need to be adaptive to retain usability, usefulness and reliability. In our ...
Video SIMDBench: Benchmarking the Compiler Vectorization for Multimedia Applications
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2016)
Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) Extensions become popular in computer architectures as a simple and efficient way to exploit the data parallelism hidden in applications. The compiler research community has proposed ...
