While resource management and task scheduling are identified challenges of Grid computing, current Grid scheduling systems mainly focus on CPU and network availability. Recent per...
We study the problem of optimal preemptive scheduling with respect to a general target function. Given n jobs with associated weights and m ≤ n uniformly related machines, one a...
In this paper, we survey three generation of reflective middleware research carried out at Lancaster University, present experiences gained from this research, and highlight a num...
Abstract. We present a new parsing framework for the line-based geometric analysis of a single image coming from a man-made environment. This parsing framework models the scene as ...
The register file is a power-hungry device in modern architectures. Current research on compiler technology and computer architectures encourages the implementation of larger dev...
