In wireless sensor networks, nodes are often fitted with low-power components to allow for a long node lifetime when operated on batteries. However, these available resources can be insufficient to perform sophisticated data processing on a local scale, necessitating the transmission of all sensor readings to an external sink. These transmissions are expensive both in terms of delay and energy,...

Stock exchanges, sensor networks and other publish/subscribe systems need to deal with highvolume streams of real-time data. Especially financial data has to be processed with low latency in order to cater for high-frequency trading algorithms. In order to deal with the large amounts of incoming data, the stream processing task has to be distributed. Traditionally, distributed stream processing...

This study aims at investigating whether Persian native speakers highly advanced in English as a second language (L2ers) can switch to optimal processing strategies in the languages they know and whether working memory capacity (WMC) plays a role in this respect. To this end, using a self-paced reading task, we examined the processing strategies 62 Persian speaking proficient L2ers used to read...
