- A Multi-Layer Approach for Improving the Scalability of Vehicular Ad-Hoc Networks
- Inter-Vehicle Communication IVC and its diverse possibilities for telematics and on-line safety applications have led to great interest in both academia and industry. Especially the broadcast-based dissemination of automatically generated, local danger warning messages in such networks bears huge potential to increase both driver safety and comfort. However, the shared...

- Analyzing Overheads and Scalability Characteristics of OpenMP Applications
- Analyzing the scalability behavior and the overheads of Open-MP applications is an important step in the development process of scientific software. Unfortunately, few tools are available that allow an exact quantification of OpenMP related overheads and scalability characteristics. This paper presents a methodology which defines four overhead categories that can...
