The advent of high-performance networks in conjunction with low-cost, powerful computational engines has made possible the development of a new set of technologies termed computat...
— The execution of data intensive grid applications still raises several questions regarding job scheduling, data migration and replication. The optimization techniques applied b...
Desktop distributed computing allows companies to exploit the idle cycles on pervasive desktop PC systems to increase the available computing power by orders of magnitude (10x - 1...
This paper summarizes recent work reported at ICAPS on applying artificial intelligence techniques to the control of production printing equipment. Like many other real-world appl...
We describe imprecise calendars, a way to organize and schedule clusters of nodes in a computation grid. Imprecise calendars permit the easy and efficient sharing of resources bet...
