In a federated digital library system, it is too expensive to query every accessible library. Resource selection is the task to decide to which libraries a query should be routed....
This paper focuses on a task allocation problem, particularly in cases where the task is to find a solution to a search problem or a constraint satisfaction problem. If the searc...
Recent years have witnessed significant advances in 3D brush modeling and simulation in digital paint tools. Compared with traditional 2D brushes, a 3D brush can be both more intu...

Microprocessors are today getting more and more inefficient for a growing range of applications. Its principles -The Von Neumann paradigm[3]- based on the sequential execution of ...
In this paper, we consider a generic model of computational grids, seen as several clusters of homogeneous processors. In such systems, a key issue when designing efficient job al...
