This paper focuses on two problems related to QoS-aware I/O server placement in hierarchical Grid environments. Given a hierarchical network with requests from clients, the network...
The problem of enforcing bounded-time 2-phase recovery in real-time programs is often necessitated by conflict between faulttolerance requirements and timing constraints. In this ...
Abstract--Manufacturing scheduling is an important but difficult task. In order to effectively solve such combinatorial optimization problems, this paper presents a novel Lagrangia...
