Abstract. Autonomic computing networks manage multiple tasks over a distributed network of resources. In this paper, we view an autonomic computing system as a network of queues, w...
We propose coupling based on contracts as a mechanism to address the problem of exchanging information between parties that require information to work together. Specifically, we s...
Global Computing achieves high throughput computing by harvesting a very large number of unused computing resources connected to the Internet. This parallel computing model target...
We compare the performance of systems consisting of one large cluster containing q processors with systems where processors are grouped into k clusters containing u processors eac...
Parallel programming is elusive. The relative performance of di erent parallel implementations varies with machine architecture, system and problem size. How to compare di erent i...
