In systems consisting of multiple clusters of processors which employ space sharing for scheduling jobs, such as our Distributed ASCI1 Supercomputer (DAS), coallocation, i.e., the...
—“Autonomic systems” merge advancements in the field of multi-agent software design, dynamic analysis, and decentralized control in order to assist designers in constructing...
Efficiently scheduling parallel tasks on to the processors of a shared-memory multiprocessor is critical to achieving high performance. Given perfect information at compile-time, ...
— This paper investigates the problem of secret key transmissions for an arbitrary Alice-Bob pair in Quantum Key Distribution (QKD)-based networks. We develop a realistic QKDbase...
Recent years have witnessed the emergence and rapid growth of distributed service infrastructures such as mobile ad hoc networks, P2P, PlanetLab and Grids. In such distributed inf...
