This work deals with the scheduling problem of a directed acyclic graph with interprocessor communication delays. The objective is to minimize the makespan, taking into account the...
The interaction of simultaneously co-allocated jobs can often create contention in the network infrastructure of a dedicated computational grid. This contention can lead to degrad...

In this paper we discuss the behavior of the replacement mechanism of well-known COMA protocols applied to a loosely-coupled multicomputer system sharing a common bus. We also pres...
— Pervasive and ubiquitous computing is enabling the implementation of “smart environments”, i.e., environments where applications support and enhance the abilities of their ...
Abstract--This paper examines the initial parallel implementation of SCATTER, a computationally intensive inelastic neutron scattering routine with polycrystalline averaging capabi...
