While desktop grids are attractive platforms for executing parallel applications, their volatile nature has often limited their use to so-called “high-throughput” applications...
—The functional heterogeneity of non-dedicated computational grids will increase with the inclusion of resources from desktop grids, P2P systems, and even mobile grids. Machine f...
Evolutionary Algorithms, including Genetic Programming (GP), are frequently employed to solve difficult real-life problems, which can require up to days or months of computation. ...
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 ...
