— In the context of service-oriented computing, services provide the capabilities necessary to support the business, especially its processes. Within the service modeling process...
In this paper we describe a novel technique which implements a spatiotemporal model as a set of sub-models based on first order logic. These sub-models model different, typicall...
Performance management (PM) is a key function of virtual organization (VO) management. A large set of PM indicators has been proposed and evaluated within the context of virtual br...
An accurate, tractable, analytic cache model for time-shared systems is presented, which estimates the overall cache missrate of a multiprocessing system with any cache size and t...
The island model for evolutionary algorithms allows to delay the global convergence of the evolution process and encourage diversity. However, solving large size and time-intensiv...
