This paper deals with the design of application-specific energy-aware CPU frequency
scaling mechanisms. The proposed customized CPU controllers may optimize performance …

Modelling and simulation is an important tool for Critical Infrastructure (CI) dependency
analysis, for testing methods for risk reduction, and as well for the evaluation of past failures …

High performance computing is required in a number of data-intensive domains. CPU and
GPU clusters are one of the most progressive branches in a field of parallel computing and …

Reduction of energy consumption is clearly one of the major technological challenges
arising with development of cloud computing infrastructures. To meet the ever increasing …

Modelling and Simulation (M&S) offer adequate abstractions to manage the complexity of
analysing big data in scientific and engineering domains. Unfortunately, big data problems …

The applicability of parallel discrete event simulation to design and evaluation of ad hoc
networks is discussed. In this paper we describe the design, functionality, implementation …

We consider critical infrastructures as cyber-physical systems (CPS). Although simulations
play an important role for CPS, no single simulator is available to simulate different …

Mobile self-organizing ad hoc networks (MANETs) can significantly enhance the capability
to coordinate the emergency actions as well as monitor contaminated areas, explore …

The transition to a “smart city” necessitates an increase in interdependencies between
critical infrastructures and information technologies. Moreover, such interdependencies are …

This chapter is concerned with computational research for complex systems. It presents a
summary of the authors' experience with the development of methods for optimization …
