Graph matching, which refers to a class of computational problems of finding an optimal
correspondence between the vertices of graphs to minimize (maximize) their node and edge …

Process migration is the act of transferring a process between two machines. It enables
dynamic load distribution, fault resilience, eased system administration, and data access …

Mixed-machine heterogeneous computing (HC) environments utilize a distributed suite of
different high-performance machines, interconnected with high-speed links, to perform …

One measure of the usefulness of a general-purpose distributed computing system is the
system's ability to provide a level of performance commensurate to the degree of multiplicity …

Most artificial intelligence research investigates intelligent behavior for a single agent--
solving problems heuristically, understanding natural language, and so on. Distributed …

This paper surveys the design of embedded computer systems, which use software running
on programmable computers to implement system functions. Creating an embedded …

Investigate the problem of static task assignment in distributed computing systems, ie given
a set of k communicating tasks to be executed on a distributed system of n processors, to …

A distributed system comprising networked heterogeneous processors requires efficient task-
to-processor assignment to achieve fast turnaround time. Although reasonable heuristics …

Heterogeneous computing (HC) environments are well suited to meet the computational
demands of large, diverse groups of tasks (ie, a meta-task). The problem of map** …

For distributed systems, system reliability is defined as the probability that the system can
run an entire task successfully. When the system's hardware configuration is fixed, the …
