We systematically evaluate the performance of five implementations of a single, user-level communication interface. Each implementation makes different architectural assumptions ...
Grid workflow can be defined as the composition of grid application services which execute on heterogeneous and distributed resources in a well-defined order to accomplish a speci...
Engineers have long used control systems utilizing models and feedback loops to control realworld systems. Limitations of model-based control led to a generation of intelligent co...
