Virtualization essentially enables multiple operating systems and applications to run on one physical computer by multiplexing hardware resources. A key motivation for applying vi...
—Large scale production grids are an important case for autonomic computing. They follow a mutualization paradigm: decision-making (human or automatic) is distributed and largely...
In order to navigate huge document collections efficiently, tagged hierarchical structures can be used. For users, it is important to correctly interpret tag combinations. In this ...
FPGAs are becoming more and more attractive for high precision scientific computations. One of the main problems in efficient resource utilization is the quadratically growing r...
Grid environments enable users to share non-dedicated resources that lack performance guarantees. This paper describes the design of application-centric middleware components to a...
