Abstract—Using MPI as communication interface, one or several applications may introduce complex communication behaviors over the network cluster. This effect is increased when n...
We present an evaluation of four knowledge base systems with respect to use in large Semantic Web applications. We discuss the performance of each system. In particular, we show t...
What is a cloud application precisely? In this paper, we formulate a computing cloud as a kind of graph, a computing resource such as services or intellectual property access righ...
Large data centers host several application environments (AEs) that are subject to workloads whose intensity varies widely and unpredictably. Therefore, the servers of the data ce...
