Large-scale scientific computing applications frequently make use of closely-coupled distributed parallel components. The performance of such scientific applications is therefore ...

The prediction of query performance is an interesting and important issue in Information Retrieval (IR). Current predictors involve the use of relevance scores, which are time-cons...
In this paper we present a formal approach to analyse performance for distributed systems, which is integrated in the early stages of the software development process. We propose ...
In this study I examine how past performance influences the relative positions of actors in a network and how the actor-level heterogeneity in quality mediates the often-demonstra...
Grid users may experience inconsistent performance due to specific characteristics of grids, such as fluctuating workloads, high failure rates, and high resource heterogeneity. Alt...
