Abstract. Provisioning extra resources is necessary when the local resources are not sufficient to meet the user requirements. Commercial Cloud providers offer the extra resources...
We study the maximal reachability probability problem for infinite-state systems featuring both nondeterministic and probabilistic choice. The problem involves the computation of ...

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...
In this paper, we address the new problem of protecting volunteer computing systems from malicious volunteers who submit erroneous results by presenting sabotagetolerance mechanis...
