We study the problem of efficiently allocating incoming independent tasks onto the resources of a Grid system. Typically, it is assumed that the estimated time to compute each task...
The Second Harmonic Generation (SHG), a process that turns out to be a good test case in the physics lab, can also be considered as a fairly simple theoretical test function for g...
Variance is a classical measure of a point estimator's sampling error. In steady-state simulation experiments, many estimators of this variance--or its square root, the stand...
This paper proposes a novel data clustering algorithm, coined ‘cellular ants’, which combines principles of cellular automata and ant colony optimization algorithms to group s...
The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is an application-layer protocol commonly used in VoIP for communication over the Internet. In this paper we describe a method to assess a pa...
