We present an improved sweep metaheuristic for discrete event simulation optimization. The sweep algorithm is a tree search similar to beam search. The basic idea is to run a limi...
Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is a widely-used method for energy-efficient computing. In this paper, we present a new intra-task online DVFS scheme for multiple clo...

Embedded services and applications that interact with the real world often, over time, need to run on different kinds of hardware (low-cost microcontrollers to powerful multicore ...
Using simulations of a complex system such as a Web Application Server provides us with a tool that allows the running of tests without using the resources needed in a real system...
