People routinely rely on Internet search engines to support their use of interactive systems: they issue queries to learn how to accomplish tasks, troubleshoot problems, and other...
We consider cluster systems with multiple nodes where each server is prone to run tasks at a degraded level of service due to some software or hardware fault. The cluster serves t...
Feasibility analysis of fixed priority systems has been widely studied in the real-time literature and several acceptance tests have been proposed to guarantee a set of periodic ...
The central idea behind interface-based design is to describe components by a component interface. In contrast to a component description that describes what a component does, a c...
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...
