In this paper, we investigate an efficient off-line scheduling algorithm in which real-time tasks with precedence constraints are executed in a heterogeneous environment. It provi...
Abstract. Scheduling meetings is generally difficult in that it attempts to satisfy the preferences of all participants. However, all participants can agree to a schedule in which...
Scheduling divisible loads in distributed systems is the subject of Divisible Load Theory (DLT). In this paper we show that coalitional game theory is a natural fit for modeling ...
Multi-core architectures have received significant interest as thermal and power consumption problems limit further increase of speed in single-cores. In the multi-core research ...
: Since the advent of Gnutella, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) protocols have matured towards a fundamental design element for large-scale, self-organising distributed systems. Many research e...
