Monte Carlo methods and their subsequent simulated annealing are able to minimize general energy functions. However, the slow convergence of simulated annealing compared with more ...
Grid technologies are emerging as the next generation of distributed computing, allowing the aggregation of resources that are geographically distributed across different location...
Latent sector errors in disk drives affect only a few data sectors. They occur silently and are detected only when the affected area is accessed again. If a latent error is detect...

Embedded services and applications that interact with the real world often, over time, need to run on different kinds of hardware (low-cost microcontrollers to powerful multicore ...
—Large scale production grids are an important case for autonomic computing. They follow a mutualization paradigm: decision-making (human or automatic) is distributed and largely...
