Mobile agents, programs that move within a system performing a set of tasks, are an active field of research. The focus of current research, however, is on the development of exe...
We present an analytic performance model of a largescale hydrodynamics code developed at Los Alamos National Laboratory. This modeling work is part of an ongoing effort to develop...
Grid applications must increasingly self-adapt dynamically to changing environments. In most cases, adaptation has been implemented in an ad hoc fashion, on a perapplication basis...

New embedded signal processing architectures are emerging that are composed of loosely coupled heterogeneous components like CPUs or DSPs, specialized IP cores, reconfigurable uni...
Abstract— This paper focuses on large-scale distributed systems that can be modeled as workflows of activities sharing resources, knowledge, know-how and services. We propose a ...
