In this paper, we consider the problem of maximizing the battery life (or duration of service) in battery-powered CMOS circuits. We first show that the battery efficiency (or utili...
An important problem in distributed systems is to detect termination of a distributed computation. A computation is said to have terminated when all processes have become passive a...
The ability to checkpoint a running application and restart it later can provide many useful benefits including fault recovery, advanced resources sharing, dynamic load balancing...
Abstract. Grid computing is based on coordinated resource sharing in a dynamic environment of multi-institutional virtual organizations. Data exchanges, and service allocation, are...
We investigate two challenges advance of e-commerce creates for traditional practice of travel distribution. First, we explore whether travel providers benefit from strategically ...
