Abstract. This paper investigates the problem of autonomously allocating a large number of independent, equal sized tasks on a distributed heterogeneous grid-like platform, using o...
Based on an analysis of the heterogeneous systems for interconnecting distributed infrastructural devices, such as low-bandwidth sensor/actuator-networks and upcoming multimedia h...
Efficient data storage, a major concern in the modern computer industry, is mostly provided today by the the traditional magnetic disk. Unfortunately the cost of a disk transfer m...
