We pose the question: how do we efficiently evaluate a join operator, distributed over a heterogeneous network? Our objective here is to optimize the delay of output tuples. We di...
One of the attractive features of Grid computing is that resources in geographically distant places can be mobilized to meet computational needs as they arise. A particularly chal...
With advanced technologies, computer devices have become smaller and powerful. As a result, many people enjoy ubiquitous learning using mobile devices such as Pocket PCs. Pocket PC...
Task Scheduling is a critical design issue of distributed computing. The emerging Grid computing infrastructure consists of heterogeneous resources in widely distributed autonomous...
Vehicle tracking data is an essential “raw” material for a broad range of applications such as traffic management and control, routing, and navigation. An important issue with...
