⎯ Technology scaling is in the era where the chip performance is constrained by its power dissipation. Although the power limits vary with the application domain, they dictate th...
Planning out maintenance tasks to increase the quality of Web applications can be difficult for a manager. First, it is hard to evaluate the precise effect of a task on quality. S...
In this paper, we present algorithms for Grid resource provisioning that employ agreement-based resource management. These algorithms allow userlevel resource allocation and sched...
In heterogeneous distributed systems, such as Grids, a resource broker is responsible of automatically selecting resources, and mapping application tasks to them. A crucial aspect...
Metadata attempts to describe the content, format, purpose and structure of data. Over the past few years, the IEEE-LOM standard has dominated the metadata world in e-learning app...
