Numerical examples of a Braess-like paradox in which adding capacity to a distributed computer system may degrade the performance of all users in the system have been reported. Un...
This paper considers extremal systems of points on the unit sphere Sr Rr+1, related problems of numerical integration and geometrical properties of extremal systems. Extremal sys...
Workflow management systems (WFMSs) that are geared for the orchestration of enterprise-wide or even "virtual-enterprise"-style business processes across multiple organi...
This paper investigates communication strategies for interconnecting heterogeneous parallel systems. As the speed of processors and parallel systems keep on increasing over the ye...
Based on the thermodynamic concept of a reservoir, we investigate a computational model for interaction with unresolved degrees of freedom (a thermal bath). We assume that a finite...
