In portable applications, the energy consumed by OS and application tasks primarily comes from DC battery source, which is limited and imposes an upper bound to the amount of time...
Efficient and robust metacomputing requires the decomposition of complex jobs into tasks that must be scheduled on distributed processing nodes. There are various ways of creating...
We consider a virtual computing environment that provides computational resources on demand to users with multiattribute task descriptions that include a valuation, resource (CPU)...
We investigate the problem of sleep/wake scheduling for low duty cycle sensor networks. Our work differs from prior work in that we explicitly consider the effect of synchronizati...
Heavy industry maintenance facilities at aircraft service centers or railroad yards must contend with scheduling preventive maintenance tasks to ensure critical equipment remains ...
