In a grid computing environment, resources are autonomous, wide-area distributed, and what’s more, they are usually not free. These unique characteristics make scheduling in a s...
Peer-to-peer systems and applications are distributed systems without any centralized control. P2P systems form the basis of several applications, such as file sharing systems and ...
Process variations have become a critical issue in performance verification of high-performance designs. We present a new, statistical timing analysis method that accounts for int...
A prerequisite for secure communication between two nodes in an ad hoc network is that the nodes share a key to bootstrap their trust relationship. In this paper, we present a sca...
Numerical methods for solving the systems of partial differential equations arising in geophysical fluid dynamics rely on a variety of spatial discretization schemes (e.g. finit...
