This work reports a quantitative analysis to predicting the efficiency of distributed computing running in three models of complex networks: Barabási-Albert, Erdõs-Rényi and Watts-Strogatz. A master-slave computing model ...

Evolutionary algorithms have been used to try to solve distribution network reconfiguration for loss reduction problem with a certain degree of success. But some problems, specially related to a codification that is able ...

Nowadays, Cloud Computing represents an effective solution for organizations that need to adopt a model of elastic computing services and pay-as-you-go. However, in new domains, such as Cyber-Physical Systems and the ...
