— This paper presents new results on the formal design of distributed coordinating agents in a discrete-event framework. In this framework, agents are modeled to be individually ...
As technologies evolve and computer systems shrink to the size of matchboxes, also their field of application shifts in new directions. Our permanent companions, mobile phones, p...

We describe computation migration,a new technique that is based on compile-time program transformations, for accessing remote data in a distributed-memory parallel system. In cont...
Efficient task scheduling is essential for obtaining high performance in heterogeneous distributed computing systems (or HeDCSs). Because of its key importance, several scheduling...
: This paper discusses the issues and promising approaches in (1) obtaining rigorous specifications of the quality-of-service (QoS) requirements associated with application functio...
