High-fidelity models of polymer processes should include the prediction of distributions of polymer properties, including multivariate distributions. Deterministic models with this capability usually involve a large system ...

The management of renewable and distributed energy resources is changing the way in which electric distribution systems are being operated. Many companies commonly create several custom system solutions to manage power ...

This paper presents DS-PTAM, a distributed architecture for the S-PTAM stereo SLAM system. This architecture is developed on the ROS framework, separating the localization and mapping tasks into two independent ROS nodes. ...

The Fog and Edge Computing paradigms have emerged as a solution to limitations of the Cloud Computing model to serve a huge amount of connected devices efficiently. These devices have unused computing power that could be ...

This article describes the application of distributed computing techniques for the analysis of big data information from Intelligent Transportation Systems. Extracting useful mobility information from large volumes of data ...

Nowadays more and more users have mobile devices with high computing power. This fact allows taking advantage of that processing power to design applications that allow users to interact remotely with the system simply ...

Internet-enabled devices operating in the physical world are increasingly integrated in modern distributed systems. We focus on systems where the dynamics of spatial distribution is crucial; in such cases, devices may need ...

A simulation methodology is proposed to evaluate the performance of large-scale Web search engines hosted by datacenters. The salient features of the methodology are the use of models of parallel computing to overcome the ...
