This paper focuses on two problems related to QoS-aware I/O server placement in hierarchical Grid environments. Given a hierarchical network with requests from clients, the network...
Robustness problems due to the substitution of the exact computation on real numbers by the rounded floating point arithmetic are often an obstacle to obtain practical implementa...
In distributed data mining models, adopting a flat node distribution model can affect scalability. To address the problem of modularity, flexibility and scalability, we propose...
Several works on grid computing have been proposed in the last years. However, most of them, including available software, can not deal properly with some issues related to contro...
A key problem in reinforcement learning is finding a good balance between the need to explore the environment and the need to gain rewards by exploiting existing knowledge. Much ...
