We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
Abstract-- New methods for model validation of continuoustime nonlinear systems with uncertain parameters are presented in this paper. The methods employ functions of state-paramet...
Many optimization techniques have been adopted for efficient job scheduling in grid computing, such as: genetic algorithms, simulated annealing and stochastic methods. Such techni...
