Efficient determination of processing termination at barrier synchronization points can occupy an important role in the overall throughput of parallel and distributed computing sy...
—With systems such as Road Runner, there is a trend in super computing to offload parallel tasks to special purpose co-processors, composed of many relatively simple scalar proc...

Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
This paper focuses on two problems related to QoS-aware I/O server placement in hierarchical Grid environments. Given a hierarchical network with requests from clients, the network...
Partially observable decentralized decision making in robot teams is fundamentally different from decision making in fully observable problems. Team members cannot simply apply si...
