Abstract. Emerging computational platforms enable a set of geographically distributed computers with different capabilities to be linked together and used in a coordinated fashion to solve a parallel application at the ...

The occurrence of unexpected aircraft maintenance tasks can produce expensive changes in an airline's operation. When it comes to critical tasks, it might even cancel programmed flights. Despite this, the challenge of ...

Parallelization of algorithms with hard data dependency has a need of task synchronization. Synchronous parallel versions are simple to model and program, but inefficient in terms of scalability and processors use rate. ...

The constant improvement in performance that computers and interconnection networks present has favored the use of distributed computational resources, and given rise to Grid Computing. This new approach uses heterogeneous ...
