Efficient and robust metacomputing requires the decomposition of complex jobs into tasks that must be scheduled on distributed processing nodes. There are various ways of creating...
Abstract--Transactional Memory (TM) is an emerging technology which promises to make parallel programming easier. However, to be efficient, underlying TM system should protect only...
In a data intensive Grid system, many data replica schemes and models have been proposed to improve the system response time or data consistency, but little attention has been pai...
This paper describes TimeLine, an efficient archive service for a distributed storage system. TimeLine allows users to take snapshots on demand. The archive is stored online so th...
Uncertainty associated with input parameters and models in simulation has gained attentions in recent years. The sources of uncertainties include lack of data and lack of knowledg...
