For many remote sensing application projects, the quality of the research or the product is heavily dependent upon the quantity of computing cycles available. Middleware is softwar...
— Computer simulations of complex systems such as physical aggregation processes or swarming and collective behaviour of life-forms, often require order N-squared computational c...
The global health, threatened by emerging infectious diseases, pandemic influenza, and biological warfare, is becoming increasingly dependent on the rapid acquisition, processing,...
In this paper we consider the problem of maximising utility in linked market-driven distributed and Grid systems. In such systems, users submit jobs through brokers who can virtua...
Scheduling large amounts of tasks in distributed computing platforms composed of millions of nodes is a challenging goal, even more in a fully decentralized way and with low overhe...
