Grid applications that use a considerable number of processors for their computations need effective predictions of the expected computation times on the different nodes. Currentl...
Application servers have been widely adopted as distributed infrastructure (or middleware) for developing distributed systems. Current approaches for performance evaluation of app...

Abstract. Many simulation-based performance studies of interconnection networks are carried out using synthetic workloads under the assumption of independent traffic sources. We sh...
Abstract. This paper addresses a new framework for designing and implementing skeleton libraries, in which each skeleton should not only be efficiently implemented as is usually d...
Abstract. A two-population Genetic Algorithm for constrained optimization is exercised and analyzed. One population consists of feasible candidate solutions evolving toward optimal...
