This paper presents an approach to the analysis of task sets implemented on multiprocessor systems, when the task execution times are specified as generalized probability distrib...
Abstract— The use of many distributed, heterogeneous resources as a large collective platform offers great potential. A key issue for these grid platforms is middleware scalabili...
We present a new approach for an average-case analysis of algorithms and data structures that supports a non-uniform distribution of the inputs and is based on the maximum likelih...
The debate within the Web community over the optimal means by which to organize information often pits formalized classifications against distributed collaborative tagging systems...
Range queries are a very powerful tool in a wide range of data management systems and are vital to a multitude of applications. The hierarchy of structured overlay systems can be ...
