In this paper, we propose a probabilistic framework targeting three important issues in the computation of quality and trust in decentralized systems. Specifically, our approach a...
This paper presents a new approach for analyzing the performance of grid scheduling algorithms for tasks with dependencies. Finding the optimal procedures for DAG scheduling in Gr...
The emergence of general audience digital libraries (GADLs) defines a context that represents a hybrid of both ``traditional'' IR, using primarily bibliographic resource...
Traditional performance models are too brittle to be relied on for continuous capacity planning and performance debugging in many computer systems. Simply put, a brittle model is ...
Multi-agent systems comprise multiple, deliberative agents embedded in and recreating patterns of interactions. Each agent’s execution consumes considerable storage and calculat...
