Wide-area distributed systems like computational grids are emergent infrastructures for high-performance parallel applications. On these systems, communication mechanisms have to ...
Production grids have a potential for parallel execution of a very large number of tasks but also introduce a high overhead that significantly impacts the execution of short task...
Many grid applications need to transfer large amounts of data between the geographically distributed sites of a grid environment. Network heterogeneity between these sites makes t...
Several interesting research directions materialize through the convergence of mobile computing and service-oriented computing. As mobile devices keep getting smaller, cheaper and...
In this paper we propose an efficient parallel algorithm with simple static and dynamic scheduling for generating combinations. It can use any number of processors (NP ≤ n − ...
