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...
We study Reader-Writer Exclusion [1], a well-known variant of the Mutual Exclusion problem [2] where processes are divided into two classes–readers and writers–and multiple re...
The existence of good probabilistic models for the job arrival process and the delay components introduced at different stages of job processing in a Grid environment is important ...
Traditional architectural designs are normally focused on CPUs and have been often decoupled from I/O considerations. They are inefficient for high-speed network processing with a...
Compressed images transmitted over noisy channels are extremely sensitive to bit errors. This necessitates the application of error control channel coding to the compressed repres...
