—Divisible load model allows scheduling algorithms that give nearly optimal makespan with practical computational complexity. Beaumont et al. have shown that their algorithm prod...
Shared machines in opportunistic grids typically have large quantities of unused disk space. These resources could be used to store application and checkpointing data when the mac...
Abstract. We present a new application of computer vision: continuous measurement of the geometrical visibility range on inter-urban roads, solely based on a monocular image acquis...
