Existing research addresses how designers create tools to support improvisation, yet little research explores how improvisation offers tools to support design work. This paper exp...
Process algebraic specifications can provide useful support for the architectural design of software systems due to the possibility of analyzing their properties. In addition to th...
We present a simulation-based performance model to analyze a parallel sparse LU factorization algorithm on modern cached-based, high-end parallel architectures. We consider supern...
Discovery of large amounts of idle CPUs in fully distributed and shared Grid systems is needed in relevant applications and is still a challenging problem. In this paper we present...
Abstract. Scheduling staff shift work in a hospital ward is a well-known problem in the operation research field but, as such, it is very often studied from the algorithmic point o...
