Advances in Internet and the availability of powerful computers and high-speed networks have propitiated the rise of Grids. The scheduling of applications is complex in Grids due ...
—Large scale systems (LSS) contain multiple subsystems that interact across multiple nodes in sometimes unforeseen and complicated ways. As a result, pinpointing the subsystems t...
Abstract. The searching for the shortest path in public transport networks can take more time than is acceptable for given situation. We have therefore searched for methods that sp...
Abstract. Predicting the performance of component-based applications is difficult due to the complexity of the underlying component technology. This problem is exacerbated when a m...
We introduce a new performance metric, called Load Balancing Factor (LBF), to assist programmers with evaluating different tuning alternatives. The LBF metric differs from traditi...
