Resource sharing in priority-based systems can give rise to priority-inversion and blocking, wherein a job’s execution is delayed because a lower-priority job holds some resourc...
Understanding the self-regulatory mechanisms controlling the spatial and temporal structure of multicellular organisms represents one of the major challenges in molecular biology. ...
Computational grids offer users a simple access to tremendous computer resources for solving large scale computing problems. Traditional performance analysis of scheduling algorit...
Modularity is thought to improve the evolvability of biological systems [18, 22]. Recent studies in the field of evolutionary computation show that the use of modularity improves...
In addition to providing small mean response times, modern applications seek to provide users predictable service and, in some cases, Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. In order...
