The characteristics of mobile environments, with the possibility of frequent disconnections and fluctuating bandwidth, have forced a rethink of traditional middleware. In particu...
A framework for task assignment in heterogeneous computing systems is presented in this work. The framework is based on a learning automata model. The proposed model can be used f...
A novel hybrid genetic algorithm (GA) for jointly optimizing source and channel codes is presented in this paper. The algorithm first uses GA for the coarse search of source and ch...
Communication in distributed applications across a wide area network needs to cope with heterogenous and constantly changing network conditions. A promising approach to address thi...
In a Distributed Database System (DDBS), transactions on objects can be read requests or write requests in a random manner. The replication algorithm of objects critically affects...
