In wireless network planning, much effort is spent on the improvement of the network and transport layer – especially for Mobile Ad Hoc Networks. Although in principle realworl...
—Divisible load model allows scheduling algorithms that give nearly optimal makespan with practical computational complexity. Beaumont et al. have shown that their algorithm prod...
Wide-area distributed systems like computational grids are emergent infrastructures for high-performance parallel applications. On these systems, communication mechanisms have to ...
Many grid applications need to transfer large amounts of data between the geographically distributed sites of a grid environment. Network heterogeneity between these sites makes t...
Networks of Workstations (NOW) have become important and cost-effective parallel platforms for scientific computations. In practice, a NOW system is heterogeneous and non-dedicat...
