As the complexity of computing systems steadily increases, self-managing systems – as Autonomic Computing Systems (ACS) proposed by IBM – are an adequate approach to minimize ...
Network impairments such as delay and packet losses have severe impact on the presentation quality of many predictive video sources. Prior researches (e.g., [1]-[3][5]-[9][11]-[13...
Randomness is a critical resource in many computational scenarios, enabling solutions where deterministic ones are elusive or even provably impossible. However, the randomized solu...
In this paper, we propose an active grid resource management system supported by active networks for computational grid. First, we construct a scalable two-level resource managemen...
Allen’s interval calculus is one of the most prominent formalisms in the domain of qualitative spatial and temporal reasoning. Applications of this calculus, however, are restric...
