We consider the execution of a complex application on a heterogeneous "grid" computing platform. The complex application consists of a suite of identical, independent pr...
Location-based ubiquitous computing systems are entering mainstream society and becoming familiar parts of everyday life. However, the settings in which they are deployed are alre...
Abstract. It is well-known that context-independent control flow analysis can be performed in cubic time for functional and object-oriented languages. Yet recent applications of c...
Scheduling query execution plans is a particularly complex problem in hierarchical parallel systems, where each site consists of a collection of local time-shared (e.g., CPU(s) or...
Approximations can aim at having close to optimal value or, alternatively, they can aim at structurally resembling an optimal solution. Whereas value-approximation has been extensi...
