We describe imprecise calendars, a way to organize and schedule clusters of nodes in a computation grid. Imprecise calendars permit the easy and efficient sharing of resources bet...
In this paper, we first present an Object Composition Petri Nets (OCPN) based model methodology for describing the dynamic behaviour of the multiple video objects and user interac...
This paper presents our work on the static task scheduling model using the mean-field annealing (MFA) technique. Mean-field annealing is a technique of thermostatic annealing that...
Abstract. In order to escape from local optima, it is standard practice to periodically restart a genetic algorithm according to some restart criteria/policy. This paper addresses ...
