Estimation via sampling out of highly selective join queries is well known to be problematic, most notably in online aggregation. Without goal-directed sampling strategies, samples...
We consider distributed opportunistic scheduling (DOS) in wireless ad-hoc networks, where many links contend for the same channel using random access. In such networks, distribute...
Efficient multisite job scheduling facilitates the cooperation of multi-domain massively parallel processor systems in a computing grid environment. However, co-allocation, hetero...
We present solutions to statically load-balance scatter operations in parallel codes run on Grids. Our loadbalancing strategy is based on the modification of the data distributio...
One of the major components of any evolutionary system is the evaluation function. Evaluation functions are used to assign a quality measure for individuals in a population. Where...
