On building a service-oriented architecture for Grid systems, more and more researches have been focused on service composition. Services, however, are not always exactly compatib...
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. ...
Abstract. The aggregation of objectives in multiple criteria programming is one of the simplest and widely used approach. But it is well known that these techniques sometimes fail ...
—Grid computing is becoming more and more attractive for coordinating large-scale heterogeneous resource sharing and problem solving. Of particular interest for effective Grid co...
This paper focuses on two problems related to QoS-aware I/O server placement in hierarchical Grid environments. Given a hierarchical network with requests from clients, the network...
