H.264 is currently the best way to compress media to achieve high quality at low bandwidth. Since its inception, technologies such as video-on-demand are increasingly realizable. ...
In this article we introduce a grid runtime system called TGrid which is designed to run hierarchically structured task-parallel programs on heterogenous environments and can also...
The simulation of large grids requires the generation of grid instances and an approximation of grid components’ behaviour. To generate grid instances, this paper outlines a set...
This paper proposes a new method for programming and controlling distributed tasks. Applications declare behavior patterns that are used to automatically predict and reserve resou...
Abstract. In recent years, probabilistic analyses of algorithms have received increasing attention. Despite results on the average-case complexity and smoothed complexity of exact ...
