The high performance computing landscape is shifting from assemblies of homogeneous nodes towards heterogeneous systems, in which nodes consist of a combination of traditional out-of-order execution cores and accelerator ...

This PhD focuses on the application of machine learning techniques for behaviourmodelling in different types of websites. Using data mining techniques two aspects whichare problematic and difficult to solve have been ...

[EN] The latest mobile devices available nowadays are leading to the development of a new generation of mobile applications that are able to react to context. Context- awareness requires data from the environment, usually ...

This Ph.D. thesis studies the agreement problem in dynamic distributed systems by integrating both the classical fault-tolerance perspective and the more recent formalism based on evolving graphs. First, we developed a ...

This dissertation focuses on High Throughput Computing (HTC) systems and how to build a working HTC system using Peer-to-Peer (P2P) technologies. The traditional HTC systems, designed to process the largest possible number ...

[EN]Computer simulation has become a powerful technique for assisting scientists in developing novel insights into the basic phenomena underlying a wide variety of complex physical systems. The work reported in this thesis ...

Deployment of multicast in the open Internet is stagnated, mainly as a result of service provider policies and network limitations. To skip the lack of multicast connectivity between receivers and networks that carry traffic ...
