Due to their high volume, general-purpose processors, and now chip multiprocessors (CMPs), are much more cost effective than ASICs, but lag significantly in terms of performance a...
In this paper, we present a multimodal discourse ontology that serves as a knowledge representation and annotation framework for the discourse understanding component of an artifi...
— Applications raising in many scientific fields exhibit both data and task parallelism that have to be exploited efficiently. A classic approach is to structure those applica...
This paper describes an algorithm, called Dynamic Window-Constrained Scheduling (DWCS), designed to meet the service constraints on packets from multiple, network-bound media stre...
One of the first motivations of using grids comes from applications managing large data sets in field such as high energy physics or life sciences. To improve the global throughput...
