—The ever increasing scale and complexity of large computational systems ask for sophisticated management tools, paving the way toward Autonomic Computing. A first step toward A...
ÐReal-time middleware services must guarantee predictable performance under specified load and failure conditions, and ensure graceful degradation when these conditions are violat...
We propose a novel work partitioning technique, Image Layer Decomposition (ILD), designed specifically to support distributed real-time rendering on commodity clusters. ILD has s...
