Performance evaluation is a central issue in the design of complex real-time systems. In this work, we propose an extension of socalled "Max-Plus" algebraic techniques to...
Medical Information Systems (MIS) in general, like any other complex and large system, can be based on centralized or distributed DBMS. Centralized system is much easier for implem...

This paper presents a novel system performance analysis technique to support the design of custom communication architectures for System-on-Chip ICs. Our technique fills a gap in...
Efficient and robust metacomputing requires the decomposition of complex jobs into tasks that must be scheduled on distributed processing nodes. There are various ways of creating...
