This paper explores the concepts of modelling a software development project as a process that results in the creation of a continuous stream of data. In terms of the Jazz repository used in this research, one aspect of that stream of data would be developer communication. Such data can be used to create an evolving social network characterized by a range of metrics. This paper presents the app...

Two sensors obtain data vectors x and y, respectively, and transmit real vectors mri(z) and rm 2 (y), respectively, to a fusion center. We obtain tight lower bounds on the number of messages (the sumI of the dimensions of mil and r1 2) that have to be transmitted for the fusion center to be able to evaluate a given function fxI, y). When the function f is linear, we show that these bounds are e...

The thesis of this dissertation deals with ubiquitous and wireless pervasive computing. The main focus is on data centric networking in distributed systems, which relies on content addressing instead of host addressing for participating nodes, thus providing network independence for applications. Publish/subscribe asynchronous group communication realises the vision of data centric networking t...

Due to the explosion of smart devices, data traffic over cellular networks has seen an exponential rise in recent years. This increase in mobile data traffic has caused an immediate need for offloading traffic from operators. Device-to-Device(D2D) communication is a promising solution to boost the capacity of cellular networks and alleviate the heavy burden on backhaul links. However, dir...

Communicating complex data structures, that is those containing pointers, across machines is a common problem in distributed and parallel computing ; particularly with the current move towards object-oriented programming. Some techniques utilise dedicated hardware and system software to eeciently achieve this. This paper presents a study of several software techniques for the communication of c...

The growing demand of processing power is being satisfied mainly by an increase in the number of computing cores in a system. One of the main challenges to be addressed is efficient utilization of these architectures. This demands data-communication aware mapping of applications on these architectures. Appropriate tools are required to provide the detailed intra-application data-communication i...

background: interpersonal communication is considered as an important and effective factor of job satisfaction and efficiency and has special significance in nursing career because of face to face relationship with patients. this study aimed to determine the association between head nurses' interpersonal communication and job satisfaction of nurses under their supervision. the study was conduct...
