One result of the action of Moore’s Law, the doubling of IT (Information Technology) power every 18 months, is a widening gap in the understanding of this technology between tho...
We considered non-clairvoyant multiprocessor scheduling of jobs with arbitrary arrival times and changing execution characteristics. The problem has been studied extensively when ...
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...
The effort in software process support has focused so far on modeling and enacting processes. A certain amount of work has been done, but little has reached a satisfactory level o...
This paper describes a new method for improving the accuracy of range information using low resolution ultrasonic sensors mounted on a mobile robot. These sensors emit ultra-sound...
