: A relatively new meta-heuristic, known as extremal optimisation (EO), is based on the evolutionary science notion that poorly performing genes of an individual are replaced by ra...
As the large volume of resources involved and the power of computational Grids increased, there is a corresponding and urgent need for employ the grid technologies into problem so...
In this paper, we present a checkpoint-based scheme to improve the turnaround time of bag-of-tasks applications executed on institutional desktop grids. We propose to share checkp...
Most Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms are able to find a single (or few) optimal, or near-optimal, solutions to difficult (NP-hard) problems. An issue though is that a s...
The necessity of a lab course on computer security arises from the students' need to complement course work by hands-on experience. In order to meet the distance teaching dem...
