Load balancing is often used to ensure that nodes in a distributed systems are equally loaded. In this paper, we show that for real-time systems, load balancing is not desirable. ...
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...
Physically based simulation of cloth in virtual environments is a computationally demanding problem. It involves modeling the internal material properties of the textile (physical...
Abstract. Within the field of software agents, there has been increasing interest in automating the process of calendar scheduling in recent years. Calendar (or meeting) schedulin...
