A recent trend in modern high performance computing (HPC) system architectures employs “lean” compute nodes running a lightweight operating system (OS). Certain parts of the OS...
Resource management is a central part of a Grid computing system. In a large-scale wide-area system such as the Grid, security is a prime concern. One approach is to be conservati...
In rule-based systems, goal-oriented computations correspond naturally to the possible ways that an observation may be explained. In some applications, we need to compute explanat...
—A promising method of automating management tasks in computing systems is to formulate them as control or optimization problems in terms of performance metrics. For an online op...
We apply techniques from complexity theory to a model of biological cellular membranes known as membrane systems or P-systems. Like Boolean circuits, membrane systems are defined ...
