The file is a well-understood and very simple abstraction, which has been successfully used in both centralized and distributed systems. However, files are not expressive enough t...
Abstract-- The problem of finding the eigenvector corresponding to the largest eigenvalue of a stochastic matrix has numerous applications in ranking search results, multi-agent co...
In this paper, we start from an assigned control law with known probability distributions of its execution time. Our goal is to identify an optimised scheduling policy that allows ...
The dynamic nature of a resource-sharing environment means that applications must be able to adapt their behavior in response to changes in system status. Predictions of future sy...
Application scheduling studies on large-scale shared resources have advocated the use of resource provisioning in the form of advance reservations for providing predictable and de...
