In the facility location problem (FLP) we are given a set of facilities and a set of clients, each of which is to be served by one facility. The goal is to decide which subset of f...
Data replications is a typical strategy for increasing access performance and data availability in Data Grid systems. Current work on data replication in Grid systems focuses on i...
In the past, we have observed several large blackouts, i.e. loss of power to large areas. It has been noted by several researchers that these large blackouts are a result of a cas...
We have designed a maximum likelihood fitter using the actor model to distribute the computation over a heterogeneous network. The prototype implementation uses the SALSA program...
