Load balance is a critical issue in distributed systems, such as server grids. In this paper, we propose a Balanced Load Queue (BLQ) model, which combines the queuing theory and hy...
We present a web-based application that allows a user to, walk through, see, and interact with a fully threedimensional model of an old Mexican city. The city itself motivates thi...
Run-time management of modern Web-based services requires the integration of several algorithms and mechanisms for job dispatching, load sharing, admission control, overload detec...
Abstract— Prediction of natural gas consumption is an important element in gas load management aimed to better utilize the facilities of a gas distribution system. The major chal...
—Due to the dynamic nature of grid environments, schedule algorithms always need assistance of a long-time-ahead load prediction to make decisions on how to use grid resources ef...
