In a realistic sensor network, in particular with a nonuniform deployment, sensor nodes inevitably have varying workloads. This causes a natural problem that some sensor nodes are...
This paper studies a load scheduling strategy with nearoptimal processing time leveraging the computational characteristics of parallel DNA sequence alignment algorithms, specific...
This paper connects two fundamental ideas from theoretical computer science: hard-core set construction, a type of hardness amplification from computational complexity, and boosti...
We address distributed real-time applications represented by systems of non-preemptive dependent periodic tasks. This system is described by an acyclic directed graph. Because the...
To address coordination and complexity issues, we formulate a grid task allocation problem as a bargaining based self-adaptive auction and propose the BarSAA grid task-bundle alloc...
