Replicated file-systems can experience degraded performance that might not be adequately handled by the underlying fault-tolerant protocols. We describe the design and implementa...
This paper presents a new schedulability analysis methodology for distributed hard real-time systems with bursty job arrivals. The schedulability is analyzed by comparing worst-ca...
QoS (Quality of Service) parameters play a key role in selecting Grid resources and optimizing resources usage efficiently. Although many works have focused on using QoS metrics,...

Efficiency enhancement techniques--such as parallelization and hybridization--are among the most important ingredients of practical applications of genetic and evolutionary algori...
