Traditionally, scheduling in high-end parallel systems focuses on how to minimize the average job waiting time and on how to maximize the overall system utilization. Despite the d...
Recent proliferation of computing devices has brought attention to heterogeneous collaborative systems, where key challenges arise from the resource limitations and disparities. S...
Background: A mathematical model to understand, predict, control, or even design a real biological system is a central theme in systems biology. A dynamic biological system is alw...
The complexity of physical and engineering systems, both in terms of the governing physical phenomena and the number of subprocesses involved, is mirrored in ever more complex mat...
Performance evaluation is a central issue in the design of complex real-time systems. In this work, we propose an extension of socalled "Max-Plus" algebraic techniques to...
