This paper presents a performance analysis of marketbased batch schedulers for clusters of workstations. In contrast to previous work, we use user-centric performance metrics as t...
It is often difficult to perform efficiently a collection of jobs with complex job dependencies due to temporal unpredictability of the grid. One way to mitigate the unpredictabili...

We introduce a new performance metric, called Load Balancing Factor (LBF), to assist programmers with evaluating different tuning alternatives. The LBF metric differs from traditi...
—We consider surveillance applications in which sensors are deployed in large numbers to improve coverage fidelity. Previous research has studied how to select active sensor cov...
It is well understood that Mobile Ad Hoc Networks (MANETs) are extremely susceptible to a variety of attacks, and traditional security mechanisms do not work well. Many security sc...
