Abstract Metacomputing is the seamless application of geographically-separated distributed computing resources to user applications. We consider the scheduling of metaapplications;...
A task that suspends itself to wait for an I/O completion or to wait for an event from another node in distributed environments is called an I/O blocking task. In conventional har...
The “ Priority Algorithm” is a model of computation introduced by Borodin, Nielsen and Rackoff [BNR03] which formulates a wide class of greedy algorithms. For an arbitrary se...
Although they focus on the big picture, high level supply chain models cannot gloss over the capacity of production nodes to meet production allocations. Capacity is not simply a ...
The complexity of embedded systems and their safety requirements have risen significantly in recent years. Models and the model based development approach help to keep overview and...
