Data replication permits a better network bandwidth utilization and minimizes the effect of latency in large-scale systems such as computing grids. However, the cost of maintainin...
We present an operational model for describing random reactive systems. Some models have already been proposed for this purpose, but they generally aim at performing global reason...
Grid computing has become increasingly popular with the growth of the Internet, especially in large-scale scientific computation. Computational Grids are characterized by their s...
We believe that with regard to the information technology applications in education, one student one computing device will be the future and long-term trend. Many related studies ...
In this paper, we present an empirical study of using a new and cost-effective Web-based collaboration software, Wiki, in a freshman-level English as a second language (ESL) cours...
