Scientists increasingly rely on the execution of workflows in grids to obtain results from complex mixtures of applications. However, the inherently dynamic nature of grid workflo...
In this paper we present a swarm grammar system that makes use of bio-inspired mechanisms of reproduction, communication and construction in order to build three-dimensional struc...
We study the problem of improving the user perceived quality of online games in which multiple players form a game session and exchange game-state updates over an overlay network....
Background: Determining whether a gene is differentially expressed in two different samples remains an important statistical problem. Prior work in this area has featured the use ...
