The heterogeneous and dynamic nature of Grid environments place new demands on models and paradigms for parallel programming. In this work we discuss how ALua, a programming syste...
Many large-scale distributed systems have been built with great complexity to run Internet services. Due to the heterogeneity and dynamics of complex systems, it is very difficult ...
Dynamic power management in enterprise environments requires an understanding of the relationship between resource utilization and system-level power consumption. Power models bas...
The environments in which agents are used often may be described by dynamical models, for example in the form of a set of differential equations. In this paper an agent model is pr...
This paper presents Whizz, a system for building animated interactive applications. We describe its musical metaphor, and its underlying model based on streams and events. We anal...
