Applications like Twitter which use chat-like short messaging systems (SMS) have been widely used in public, political, military, emergency, humanitarian and other fields. Such applications usually involve servers ...

Speech recognition applications challenge traditional out-of-order processors because of low cache locality and poor branch behavior. We observe that these symptoms may be mitigated my exploiting the existing parallelism ...

MSSP is a new execution paradigm that achieves high performance by removing correctness constraints from the critical path. A collection of concurrently executing slave processors, which are not on the critical path, check ...

We develop an approach for automatically learning the optimal feature transformation for a given classification problem. The approach is based on extending the principle of risk minimization (RM), commonly used for learning ...

Designers need a larger electronic workspace effective for sketching. To provide such a workspace, we have developed a focus+context screens system which tethers a smaller 'focus' screen to a larger 'context' screen. For ...

We consider the problem of finding "relative" time-periodic solutions of chaotic partial differential equations with symmetries. Relative time-periodic solutions are solutions which are periodic in time, up to a transformation ...

It is well known that a user, who participates in an overlay network like Gnutella, does not stay in the network continuously, but goes online and offline repeatedly. In addition to this user behavior, dynamic network ...
