In Grid systems, nontrivial qualities of service have to be provided to users by the resource providers. However, resource management in a decentralized infrastructure is a complex...
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...
As communication and I/O traffic increase on the interconnection network of high-performance systems, network contention becomes a critical problem drastically reducing performan...
The routing and scheduling of vehicles and their crews is an area of increasing importance. In this paper, we describe a large scale vehicle scheduling and routing problem which i...
In a real-time system, tasks are constrained by global endto-end (E-T-E) deadlines. In order to cater for high task schedulability, these deadlines must be distributed over compon...
