In this paper we introduce Challenger, a multiagent system that performs completely distributed resource allocation. Challenger consists of agents which individually manage local ...
Grid computing intends to share heterogeneous resources in dynamic service-based environments. This kind of systems has the major advantages of enabling rapid composition of distr...
Parallel computing is notoriously challenging due to the difficulty in developing correct and efficient programs. With the arrival of multi-core processors for desktop systems, ...
In this paper, we address the complex task of initializing an on-line simulation to a current system state collected from an operating physical system. The paper begins by discuss...
