We consider a system with a dispatcher and several identical servers in parallel. Task processing times are known upon arrival. We first study the impact of the local scheduling ...
Abstract--The Grid is an heterogeneous and dynamic environment which enables distributed computation. This makes it a technology prone to failures. Some related work uses replicati...
This paper describes a design process for custom wearable systems produced in an academic setting. A set of 245 wearable design defects from two distinct periods separated by six ...
In this paper we present the design, implementation and evaluation of a runtime system based on collective I/O techniques for irregular applications. We present two models, namely...
The complexity of the cluster-based web service challenges the traditional approaches, which fail to guarantee the reliability and real-time performance required. In this paper, w...
