Abstract. This paper is devoted to scheduling a large collection of independent tasks onto a distributed heterogeneous platform, which is composed of a set of servers. Each server ...
Grid computing allows the utilization of vast computational resources for solving complex scientific and engineering problems. However, development tools for Grid applications are...
Database queries, in particular, event-driven continuous queries, are useful for many pervasive computing applications, such as video surveillance. In order to enable these applic...
We provide a general framework for the analysis of the capacity scaling properties in mobile ad-hoc networks with heterogeneous nodes and spatial inhomogeneities. Existing analyti...
Strategies are developed for “fattening” the tasks of computation-dags so as to accommodate the heterogeneity of remote clients in Internet-based computing (IC). Earlier work ...
