Software is typically improved and modified in small increments (we refer to each of these increments as a modification record--MR). MRs are usually stored in a configuration manag...
We consider a model where commodity service providers are offering commodity computational services to a set of customers. We provide a solution for the efficient distribution of ...
This work introduces a method for instrumenting applications, producing execution traces, and visualizing multiple trace instances to identify performance features. The approach p...
Desktop Grids have proved to be a suitable platform for the execution of Bag-of-Tasks applications but, being characterized by a high resource volatility, require the availability ...
