An important factor that needs to be taken into account by end-users and systems (schedulers, resource brokers, policy brokers) when mapping applications to the Grid, is the perfo...
Emerging configurable infrastructures (large-scale overlays, grids, distributed testbeds, and sensor networks among others) comprise diverse sets of computing resources and netwo...
The popularity of mobile devices has propelled the development of many useful location-aware applications. However, the heterogeneity of mobile devices necessitates that the softw...
We describe the Enhanced Evolutionary Tabu Search (EE-TS) local search technique. The EE-TS metaheuristic technique combines Reactive Tabu Search with evolutionary computing eleme...
The continuous increasing in performance requirements, for both scientic computation and industry, motivates the need of a powerful computing infrastructure. The Grid appeared as ...
