Cooperative computing is becoming inevitable with the emerging of service-oriented computing and GRID becoming a ubiquitous computing resource. It is widely recognized that agent t...
This paper considers the problem of maintaining the coverage degree of a wireless sensor network at an application specific level while keeping the sensing units of only a subset o...
In large-scale clusters and computational grids, component failures become norms instead of exceptions. Failure occurrence as well as its impact on system performance and operatio...
In the context of SLA based job scheduling for high performance grid computing, this paper investigates the behaviour of various scheduling heuristics to schedule SLA-bounded jobs...
d Abstract) In this paper, we investigate area requirements for drawing s-t hierarchically planar graphs by straight-lines. Two drawing standards will be discussed: 1) each vertex ...
