Incomplete k-ary n-cube and its derivatives
Incomplete or pruned k-ary n-cube, n ≥ 3, is derived as follows. All links of dimension n - 1 are left in place and links of the remaining n- 1 dimensions are removed, except for one, which is chosen periodically from the remaining dimensions along the ...
Protecting network users in mobile code systems
Conventional access control mechanisms are rather insensitive to occurrences of context-dependent illegal accesses. Insensitivity to context-dependent accesses may lead to failure to protect network users and resources. Context-dependent illegal ...
Performance of adaptive CORBA middleware
Middleware provides inter-operability and transparent location of servers in a heterogeneous distributed environment. A careful design of the middleware software is required, however, for achieving high performance. This research proposes an adaptive ...
Predicate control: synchronization in distributed computations with look-ahead
The predicate control problem involves synchronizing a distributed computation to maintain a given global predicate. In contrast with many popular distributed synchronization problems such as mutual exclusion, readers writers, and dining philosophers, ...
A new fuzzy-decision based load balancing system for distributed object computing
Distributed object computing systems are widely envisioned to be the desired distributed software development paradigm due to the higher modularity and the capability of handling machine and operating system heterogeneity. Indeed, enabled by the ...
Sorting and election in anonymous asynchronous rings
In an anonymous ring of n processors, all processors are totally indistinguishable except for their input values. These values are not necessarily distinct, i.e., they form a multiset, and this makes many problems particularly difficult. We consider the ...
A parallel rendezvous algorithm for interpolation between multiple grids
A number of computational procedures employ multiple grids on which solutions are computed. For example, in multiphysics simulations a primary grid may be used to compute mechanical deformation of an object while a secondary grid is used for thermal ...
Parallelisation of the Lagrangian model in a mixed Eulerian- Lagrangian CFD algorithm
This manuscript presents an algorithm implemented in a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD) code for parallelisation of the Lagrangian particle tracking model in a mixed Eulerian-Lagrangian CFD algorithm. The algorithm is based on the domain ...
Three-dimensional reconstruction of cellular structures by electron microscope tomography and parallel computing
Electron microscope tomography has emerged as the leading technique for structure determination of cellular components with a resolution of a few nanometers, opening up exciting perspectives for visualizing the molecular architecture of the cytoplasm. ...
A context-sensitive middleware for dynamic integration of mobile devices with network infrastructures
Network infrastructures (NI), such as the Internet, grid, smart spaces, and enterprise computing environments usually consists of computing nodes that are stationary, provide the backbone for environment sensing and high-performance computing and ...
