Virtual machines can greatly simplify wide-area discomputing by lowering the level of abstraction to the benefit of both resource providers and users. Networking, however, can be ...
—In this paper, we propose two adaptive scheduling approaches to support real-time control applications with highly varying computation times. The use of a resource reservation s...
— Algorithmic problem reduction is a fundamental approach to problem solving in many fields, including robotics. To solve a problem using this scheme, we must reduce the problem...
—The performance of BPEL processes depends on the composing web services. Monitoring web service performance and adapting to changes in service performance are essential for crea...
The skeletal structures of solid objects play an important role in medical and industrial applications. Given a volumetrically sampled solid object, our method extracts a nice-loo...
