In this paper we consider server farms with a setup cost. This model is common in manufacturing systems and data centers, where there is a cost to turn servers on. Setup costs alw...
—Grid computing aims to realize a high-performance computing environment, while increasing the usage efficiency of installed resources. This puts considerable constraints on the...

Various techniques of system identification exist that provide a nominal model and an uncertainty bound. An important question is what the implications are for the particular choi...
Abstract. Reo is a channel-based coordination model whose operational semantics is given by Constraint Automata (CA). Quantitative Constraint Automata extend CA (and hence, Reo) wi...
