In heterogeneous distributed systems, such as Grids, a resource broker is responsible of automatically selecting resources, and mapping application tasks to them. A crucial aspect...
Exotic semirings such as the “(max, +) semiring” (R ∪ {−∞}, max, +), or the “tropical semiring” (N ∪ {+∞}, min, +), have been invented and reinvented many times s...
This article presents a multiprocessor system-on-chip synthesis (MPSoC) algorithm that optimizes system mean time to failure. Given a set of directed acyclic periodic graphs of co...

The Unit Commitment Problem (UCP) is the task of finding an optimal turn on and turn off schedule for a group of power generation units over a given time horizon to minimize ope...
In this paper, we present algorithms for Grid resource provisioning that employ agreement-based resource management. These algorithms allow userlevel resource allocation and sched...
