Motivated by applications to sensor, peer-to-peer, and adhoc networks, we study the problem of computing functions of values at the nodes in a network in a totally distributed man...
Heterogeneous computing systems composed of interconnected machines with varied computational capabilities often operate in environments where there may be sudden machine failures...

The process of scheduling computations for Internet-based computing presents challenges not encountered with more traditional platforms for parallel and distributed computing. The...
The two-dimensional orthogonal non-guillotine cutting problem (NGCP) appears in many industries (like wood and steel industries) and consists in cutting a rectangular master surfa...
