Coherent information structure in complex computation
AbstractWe have recently presented a framework for the information dynamics of distributed computation that locally identifies the component operations of information storage, transfer, and...
View ArticleImmune System Support for Scheduling
AbstractHaven’t there been enough approaches to scheduling problems? In terms of variety the answer might be ‘yes’. However, the answer is not as straightforward in terms of effectiveness. In many...
View ArticleEnsemble-Based Wrapper Methods for Feature Selection and Class Imbalance...
AbstractThe wrapper feature selection approach is useful in identifying informative feature subsets from high-dimensional datasets. Typically, an inductive algorithm “wrapped” in a search algorithm is...
View ArticleEnergy and Security Awareness in Evolutionary-Driven Grid Scheduling
AbstractEnsuring the energy efficiency, thermal safety, and security-awareness in today’s large-scale distributed computing systems is one of the key research issues that leads to the improvement of...
View ArticleAn overview of energy efficiency techniques in cluster computing systems
AbstractTwo major constraints demand more consideration for energy efficiency in cluster computing: (a) operational costs, and (b) system reliability. Increasing energy efficiency in cluster systems...
View ArticleCombining analytic kernel models for energy-efficient data modeling and...
AbstractEnergy-efficient computing has now become a key challenge not only for data-center operations, but also for many other energy-driven systems, with the focus on reducing of all energy-related...
View ArticleService-Oriented Middleware: Overview and Illustrative Example
AbstractIn this chapter we present an emerging approach to develop systems for WSN, named Service-Oriented Middleware (SOM), in which the WSN is logically viewed as a service provider for consumer...
View ArticleMiddleware Platforms: State of the Art, New Issues, and Future Trends
AbstractIn this chapter we examine the rapid advances that have occurred recently in the wireless sensor networks (WSNs) domain and argue that intelligent middleware is needed to tackle the challenges...
View ArticleA Framework for the Local Information Dynamics of Distributed Computation in...
AbstractThe nature of distributed computation has long been a topic of interest in complex systems science, physics, artificial life and bioinformatics. In particular, emergent complex behavior has...
View ArticleSurvey on Grid Resource Allocation Mechanisms
AbstractGrid is a distributed high performance computing paradigm that offers various types of resources (like computing, storage, communication) to resource-intensive user tasks. These tasks are...
View ArticleRandomized approximation scheme for resource allocation in hybrid-cloud...
AbstractUsing the virtually unlimited resource capacity of public cloud, dynamic scaling out of large-scale applications is facilitated. A critical question arises practically here is how to run such...
View ArticleOn Cloud Spot Market: An Overview of the Research
AbstractIn Cloud computing, Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) can be purchased with three pricing schemes, namely reserved pricing, on-demand pricing and spot pricing. Within the spot pricing model,...
View ArticleCloud Storage over Multiple Data Centers
AbstractCloud storage has become a booming trend in the last few years. Individual developers, companies, organizations, and even governments have either taken steps or at least shown great interests...
View ArticleEnergy-efficient data replication in cloud computing datacenters
AbstractCloud computing is an emerging paradigm that provides computing, communication and storage resources as a service over a network. Communication resources often become a bottleneck in service...
View ArticlePerformance analysis of data intensive cloud systems based on data management...
AbstractAs we delve deeper into the ‘Digital Age’, we witness an explosive growth in the volume, velocity, and variety of the data available on the Internet. For example, in 2012 about 2.5 quintillion...
View ArticleAdaptive multiple-workflow scheduling with task rearrangement
AbstractLarge-scale distributed computing systems like grids and more recently clouds are a platform of choice for many resource-intensive applications. Workflow applications account for the majority...
