Various studies have shown that OS jitter can degrade parallel program performance considerably at large processor counts. Most sources of system jitter fall broadly into 5 catego...
Coordination within decentralized agent groups frequently requires reaching global consensus, but typical hierarchical approaches to reaching such decisions can be complex, slow, ...
—This paper proposes a general scheduling model that extends job-shop scheduling models to incorporate important features of real manufacturing systems. More precisely, each oper...
Use-cases often capture the expected behaviors of a system and its components. During requirements analysis, it is important to understand and model the relationship among differe...
To integrate many data sources we use a peer mediator framework where views defined in the peers are logically composed in terms of each other. A common approach to execute queri...
