Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on the other hand, is a shared collaborative environment constructed on v...
Due to the strong increase of processing units available to the end user, expressing parallelism of an algorithm is a major challenge for many researchers. Parallel applications ar...
In distributed real-time systems, an application is often modeled as a set of real-time transactions, where each transaction is a chain of precedence-constrained tasks. Each task ...
High quality of security is increasingly critical for applications running on heterogeneous distributed systems. However, existing scheduling algorithms for heterogeneous distribu...
This paper proposes a person-centered approach for personal task management in which people can decide management of their tasks according to their environments including their su...
