Mega grids span several continents and may consist of millions of nodes and billions of tasks executing at any point in time. This setup calls for scalable and highly available re...
As wireless channels are becoming common, the performance of TCP over networks with such links is important. TCP performance suffers substantially when packet error rates increase...
In this paper, we present a dynamic and adaptive variable ordering heuristic which guides systematic search toward inconsistent or hard parts of a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (...
The dynamic nature of a resource-sharing environment means that applications must be able to adapt their behavior in response to changes in system status. Predictions of future sy...
Many black box optimization algorithms have sufcient exibility to allow them to adapt to the varying circumstances they encounter. These capabilities are of two primary sorts: 1) ...
