In this paper we propose a new parallelization scheme for Simulated Annealing — Hierarchical Parallel SA (HPSA). This new scheme features coarse-granularity in parallelization, d...

Due to the strong increase of processing units available to the end user, expressing parallelism of an algorithm is a major challenge for many researchers. Parallel applications ar...
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems are characterized by direct access between peer computers, rather than through a centralized server. File sharing is the dominant P2P application on the...
Abstract--The paper proposes a model which allows integration of services published by independent providers into scientific or business workflows. Optimization algorithms are prop...
Commodity computer clusters are often composed of hundreds of computing nodes. These generally off-the-shelf systems are not designed for high reliability. Node failures therefore...
