Efficient task scheduling is essential for obtaining high performance in heterogeneous distributed computing systems (or HeDCSs). Because of its key importance, several scheduling...
We consider the problem of scheduling tasks with unpredictable service times on distinct processing nodes so as to meet a real-time deadline, given that all communication among no...
We consider the problem of admission control in resource sharing systems, such as web servers and transaction processing systems, when the job size distribution has high variabili...
In this paper we address the problem of reducing the energy consumption in distributed embedded systems associated with time-constraints and equipped with fault-tolerant technique...
Distributed information systems for decision support and e-commerce applications require coordination of multiple autonomous components and their services to accomplish a set of g...
