Predicting how well applications may run on modern systems is becoming increasingly challenging. It is no longer sufficient to look at number of floating point operations and commu...
Abstract--The provision of Quality of Service in Grid environments is still an open issue that needs attention from the research community. One way of contributing to the provision...
We propose a novel approach, called Dynamic Fractional Resource Scheduling (DFRS), to share homogeneous cluster computing platforms among competing jobs. DFRS leverages virtual mac...
Abstract--Objectives of the dissertation are impacts of Peerto-Peer (P2P) traffic on Internet core networks as well as novel approaches for using P2P technology in Internet access ...
Local search (LS) algorithms are among the most powerful techniques for solving computationally hard problems in combinatorial optimization. These algorithms could be viewed as &q...
