Symmetric Multiprocessors (SMPs), combined with modern interconnection technologies are commonly used to build cost-effective compute clusters. However, contention among processor...
We describe a simple on-line heuristic for scheduling job-shops. We assume there is a fixed set of routes for the jobs, and many jobs, say N, on each route. The heuristic uses saf...
Reasoning about capabilities in multi-agent systems is crucial for many applications. There are two aspects of reasoning about the capabilities of an agent to achieve its goals. O...
Clusters of workstations are one of the most suitable resources to assist e-scientists in the execution of largescale experiments that demand processing power. The utilization rat...
Abstract— This paper presents scheduling strategies for sensing workload in wireless sensor networks using Divisible Load Theory (DLT), which offers a tractable model and realist...
