Large-scale cluster-based Internet services often host partitioned datasets to provide incremental scalability. The aggregation of results produced from multiple partitions is a f...
Abstract We consider the problem of coordinating the operations of two supply chain partners: a foreign shipping company and a domestic port. The two partners have conflicting busi...
For memory constrained environments like embedded systems, optimization for program size is often as important, if not more important, as optimization for execution speed. Commonl...
MPI provides a portable message passing interface for many parallel execution platforms but may lead to inefficiencies for some platforms and applications. In this article we sho...
Water systems often allow efficient water uses via water reuse and/or recirculation. Defining the network layout connecting water-using processes is a complex problem which involv...
