This paper presents MAUI, a system that enables fine-grained energy-aware offload of
mobile code to the infrastructure. Previous approaches to these problems either relied …

The study of multi-agent systems (MAS) focuses on systems in which many intelligent agents
interact with each other. These agents are considered to be autonomous entities such as …

In this paper we introduce a runtime system to allow unmodified multi-threaded applications
to use multiple machines. The system allows threads to migrate freely between machines …

As the field of communications networks continues to evolve, the challenging area of
wireless sensor networks is rapidly coming of age. Recent advances have made it possible …

Femtosecond laser pulses appear as an emerging and promising tool for processing wide
bandgap dielectric materials for a variety of applications. This article aims to provide an …

This paper describes the Denali isolation kernel, an operating system architecture that safely
multiplexes a large number of untrusted Internet services on shared hardware. Denali's goal …
