Abstract. We consider the use of a cluster system for Application Service Provider (ASP). In the ASP context, hosted applications and databases can be update-intensive and must rem...
This paper proposes a novel Lightweight Time Warp (LTW) protocol for high-performance parallel optimistic simulation of large-scale DEVS and CellDEVS models. By exploiting the cha...
We show a tight relation between the behavior of unique games under parallel repetition and their semidefinite value. Let G be a unique game with alphabet size k. Suppose the semid...
Hash functions are an important building block in almost all security applications. In the past few years, there have been major advances in the cryptanalysis of hash functions, es...
When the processing times of jobs are controllable, selected processing times affect both the manufacturing cost and the scheduling performance.A well-known example for such a cas...
