The Home Network is a pervasive environment by nature. Its openness to dynamic distributed and heterogeneous devices brings great challenges in home application design. We present...
This work presents a new hybrid Evolutionary Algorithm for the Dynamic Resource Constrained Task Scheduling Problem (DRCTSP). The most important differences between the new EA and...
Grid computing allows the utilization of vast computational resources for solving complex scientific and engineering problems. However, development tools for Grid applications are...
This paper describes an extension to the componentbased programming model to support real-time dynamic guarantee for distributed applications. The extended model aims to include a...
—This paper presents a distributed algorithm to direct evacuees to exits through arbitrarily complex building layouts in emergency situations. The algorithm finds the safest pat...
