Abstract. This paper investigates the problem of autonomously allocating a large number of independent, equal sized tasks on a distributed heterogeneous grid-like platform, using o...
We consider a kernel-based approach to nonlinear classification that coordinates the generation of “synthetic” points (to be used in the kernel) with “chunking” (working wi...
We propose an analysis for detecting procedures and goals that are deterministic (i.e. that produce at most one solution), or predicates whose clause tests are mutually exclusive (...
In order for middleware systems to be adaptive, their properties and services need to support a wide variety of application-specific policies. However, application developers and ...
Several works on grid computing have been proposed in the last years. However, most of them, including available software, can not deal properly with some issues related to contro...
