Networks of Workstations (NOW) have become important and cost-effective parallel platforms for scientific computations. In practice, a NOW system is heterogeneous and non-dedicat...
Snap-shot mechanisms are used to read a globally consistent set of variable values. Such a mechanism can be used to solve a variety of communication and synchronization problems, ...

Many-to-many multicast transmission is an essential network capability for scalable distributed simulation. The many open issues that make network-layer multicast impractical over...
We consider a virtual computing environment that provides computational resources on demand to users with multiattribute task descriptions that include a valuation, resource (CPU)...
In this paper we present an approach to performance estimation for hard real-time systems. We consider architectures consisting of multiple processors. The scheduling policy is ba...
