In this paper, we consider semiconductor manufacturing processes that can be characterized by a diverse product mix, heterogeneous parallel machines, sequence-dependent setup time...
' An efficient assignment of tasks to the processors is imperative for achieving a fast job turnaround time in a parallel or distributed enviornment. The assignment problem is...
Performance evaluation of applications running on a Grid is a challenging task. Grid's resources are heterogeneous in nature, often shared, and dynamic, all of which have imp...
The Web Service paradigm is currently considered as the most promising and rapidly evolving technology for developing applications in open, distributed and heterogeneous environme...
Abstract. This paper presents a new multi-agent physics-based simulation framework (DISCOVERY), supporting experiments with self-organizing underwater sensor and actuator networks....
