In the context of SLA based job scheduling for high performance grid computing, this paper investigates the behaviour of various scheduling heuristics to schedule SLA-bounded jobs...
Kahn process networks (KPNs) are a programming paradigm suitable for streaming-based multimedia and signal-processing applications. We discuss the execution of KPNs, and the criter...
Applications that operate in highly dynamic environments must deal with real-time changes of circumstances in order to be consistent and coherent. In this work, we propose an exten...
This paper extended a mathematical technique to model the behaviour of token-passing protocol in a star-coupled wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical network for traffic ...
In this paper, we present a new model for concurrency control that supports cooperation of design tools and designers in a design environment. We capture characteristic access and...
