A computational grid is a wide-area computing environment for cross-domain resource sharing and service integration. Resource management and load balancing are key concerns when i...
Abstract. The existing Web service management solutions are almost exclusively focused on optimization of technical QoS metrics (e.g., availability). However, financial (e.g., prof...
Many stochastic planning problems can be represented using Markov Decision Processes (MDPs). A difficulty with using these MDP representations is that the common algorithms for so...
In sensor networks, data acquisition frequently takes place at lowcapability devices. The acquired data is then transmitted through a hierarchy of nodes having progressively incre...
