Parallel algorithm designers need computational models that take first order system costs into account, but are also simple enough to use in practice. This paper introduces the L...
Optimizing the pump-scheduling is an interesting proposal to achieve cost reductions in water distribution pumping stations. As systems grow, pump-scheduling becomes a very diffic...
A framework for task assignment in heterogeneous computing systems is presented in this work. The framework is based on a learning automata model. The proposed model can be used f...
—P2P storage systems use replication to provide a certain level of availability. While the system must generate new replicas to replace replicas lost to permanent failures, it ca...
Modern single and multi-processor computer systems incorporate, either directly or through a LAN, a number of storage devices with diverse performance characteristics. These stora...
