We present an analytic technique for modeling load balancing policies on a cluster of servers conditioned on the fact that the service times of arriving tasks are drawn from heavy...
—The actor programming model offers a promising model for developing reliable parallel and distributed code. Actors provide flexibility and scalability: local execution may be i...

Speculation is an every day phenomenon whereby one acts in anticipation of particular conditions that are likely to hold in the future. Computer science research has seen many suc...
Scientists are increasingly turning to numerical simulation in order to investigate and model complex environmental systems. Numerical simulation has enormous advantages over labor...
Large-scale ecological simulations are natural candidates for distributed discrete event simulation. In optimistic simulation of spatially explicit models, a difficult problem ar...
