Given a database with missing or uncertain content, our goal is to correct and fill the database by extracting specific information from a large corpus such as the Web, and to d...
The challenges faced by mobile and distributed applications include the ability to discover and negotiate for the resources required for execution. The NOMAD (Negotiated Object Mo...
In this paper, we consider parallel tasks scheduling problems for hierarchical decentralized systems that consist of homogeneous computational resources such as clusters, PCs and ...
