Since the advent of electronic computing, the processors’ clock speed has risen tremendously. Now that energy efficiency requirements have stopped that trend, the number of proc...
Pervasive systems are complex distributed systems containing heterogeneous and mobile devices, services and applications. Policy-based management is an effective approach for mana...
Abstract— The use of many distributed, heterogeneous resources as a large collective platform offers great potential. A key issue for these grid platforms is middleware scalabili...
In this paper we address the problem of managing heterogeneous workloads in a virtualized data center. We consider two different workloads: transactional applications and long-ru...
