Parallel and distributed heterogeneous computing systems may operate in an environment that undergoes unpredictable changes causing certain system performance features to degrade....
In this paper we propose two price-based job allocation schemes for computational grids. A grid system tries to solve problems submitted by various grid users by allocating the jo...
Proactive fault handling combines prevention and repair actions with failure prediction techniques. We extend the standard availability formula by five key measures: (1) precisio...
Previous work on task scheduling mechanisms assumed that the agent’s goal is to maximize its own profit without considering the effect of its strategy on the other agents’ pr...
Embedded designers now have the capability of offloading software routines into custom applicationspecific hardware blocks. This paper evaluates a domain-specific design system fo...
