Modern enterprise systems often have distributed application architectures composed of many independent services running in a heterogeneous environment (Papazoglou et al., 2007). In such systems, applications are customized and new services are composed and deployed on-the-fly subjecting the system resources to varying workloads. Moreover, existing services, given their loosely-coupled nature, ...

We study the flow-level performance of randomwireless networks. The locations of base stations (BSs) follow aPoisson point process. The number and positions of active usersare dynamic. We associate a queue to each BS. The performanceand stability of a BS depend on its load. In some cases, thefull distribution of the load can be derived. Otherwise we deriveformulas for th...

In this paper, our objective is to assist a graphical artist throughout the creation of stylised facial animations that exhibit characters with a handdrawn look and resemble real life without mimicking it. To this end, we present a hybrid approach combining benefits from performancedriven facial animation and user-controlled 2D modelling and animation techniques. Once we capture the movement an...
