Effective scheduling is a key concern for the execution of performance driven Grid applications. In this paper, we propose a Dynamic Critical Path (DCP) based workflow scheduling ...
Quality of service (QoS) is becoming an attractive feature for high-performance networks and parallel machines because it could allow a more efficient use of resources. Deadline-...
We prove that the hit-and-run random walk is rapidly mixing for an arbitrary logconcave distribution starting from any point in the support. This extends the work of [26], where t...
Workforce planning is an important activity that enables organizations to determine the workforce needed for continued success. A workforce planning problem is a very complex task...
Algorithmic skeletons can be used to write architecture independent programs, shielding application developers from the details of a parallel implementation. In this paper, we pre...
