Abstract. We investigate the following very simple load-balancing algorithm on the N-cycle (N even) which we call Odd-Even Transposition Balancing (OETB). The edges of the cycle ar...
Abstract. We study in this paper several scheduling heuristics for GridRPC middlewares. When dealing with performance issue, the scheduling strategy is one of the most important fe...
Based on the Proximate Optimality Principle in metaheuristics, a Population Based Guided Local Search (PGLS) framework for dealing with difficult combinatorial optimization problem...
In this paper we describe a methodology that includes the complementary use of simulated annealing and response surface methodology (RSM). The methodology was developed for analys...
MATLAB provides a powerful environment for rapid prototyping of research methods and techniques. Across the wide range of on-line pen computing applications there exists a series ...
