This paper presents a new approach for analyzing the performance of grid scheduling algorithms for tasks with dependencies. Finding the optimal procedures for DAG scheduling in Gr...
The layered architecture of middleware platforms (such as CORBA, SOAP, J2EE) is a mixed blessing. On the one hand, layers provide services such as demarshaling, session management...
Recently, more attention is paid to the researches and practices on how to use software architecture in software maintenance and evolution to reduce their complexity and cost. The ...
–Application of hardware-parameterized models to distributed systems can result in omission of key bottlenecks such as the full cost of inter- and intra-node communication in a c...
The use of PKI in large scale environments suffers some inherent problems concerning the options to adopt for the optimal cost-centered operation of the system. In this paper a Mar...
