— The efforts to construct a national scale Grid computing environment have brought unprecedented computing capacity and complicacy. Exploiting this complex infrastructure requir...
er than abstracting human behavior as work processes or tasks--functional idealizations of the work to be accomplished--we model people's activities comprehensively and chrono...
We present a centralized and a distributed algorithms for scheduling multi-task agents in heterogeneous networks. Our centralized algorithm has an upper bound on the overall compl...
Physical boundaries have caused software systems to become less monolithic and more distributed. The trend is progressing to a point where software systems will consist of numerous...
