Wide-area distribution raises significant performance problems for traditional query processing techniques as data access becomes less predictable due to link congestion, load imb...
We consider the problem of processing a given number of tasks on a given number of processors as quickly as possible when only vague information about the processing time of a task...
As desktop computer computational power continues to increases dramatically, it is becoming commonplace to run a combination of deadline-sensitive applications. Despite the prolif...
—Increasingly larger data sets are being stored in networked architectures. Many of the available data structures are not easily amenable to parallel realizations. Hashing scheme...
—Upon the occurrence of a phenomenon of interest in a wireless sensor network, multiple sensors may be activated, leading to data implosion and redundancy. Data aggregation and/o...
