: Systems are defined by their components and the relationships among their components, hence when modelling systems using an objectoriented (OO) approach, objects alone are insuff...
Energy consumption and heat dissipation have become key considerations for modern high performance computer systems. In this paper, we focus on non-clairvoyant speed scaling to mi...
Background: Bioinformatic analyses typically proceed as chains of data-processing tasks. A pipeline, or ‘workflow’, is a well-defined protocol, with a specific structure defin...
Agent systems are highly distributed and feature widespread coordination and collaboration. Because of these characteristics, a traditional object oriented approach to software de...
