Within the realms of workflow management and grid computing, scheduling of distributed services is a central issue. Most schedulers balance time and cost to fit within a client...
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 ...
