The performance attained by parallel programs executed on multiprocessor systems is largely in uenced both by the characteristics of the code and by those of the system architectu...
This paper presents a new approach for analyzing the performance of grid scheduling algorithms for tasks with dependencies. Finding the optimal procedures for DAG scheduling in Gr...
Efforts for software evolution supersede any other part of the software life cycle. Technological decisions have a major impact on the maintainability, but are not well reflected ...
A case study of performance and dependability evaluation of fault-tolerant multiprocessors is presented. Two specific architectures are analyzed taking into account system functio...
Traditional design representations are inadequate for generalized reasoning about modularity in design and its technical and economic implications. We have developed an architectu...
