Increasing hardware performance of desktop computers accounts for a low-cost computing potential that is waiting to be efficiently used. However, the complexity of installation a...
This work investigates the use of reconfigurable devices as computing platform for self-organizing embedded systems. Those usually consist of a set of distributed, autonomous node...
Autonomic Computing was introduced to reduce the complexity of managing computing systems; however, the heterogeneous nature existing in most computing systems introduces some dif...
A modern server system must deliver a complex set of obligations towards its users. We study the concept of roles as autonomous encapsulations of a set of promises. Using virtuali...
Abstract. Scientists increasingly rely on workflow management systems to perform large-scale computational scientific experiments. These systems often collect provenance informatio...
