Cloud Computing: a Prologue

An emerging internet based super computing model is represented by cloud computing. Cloud computing is the convergence and evolution of several concepts from virtualization, distributed storage, grid, and automation management to enable a more flexible approach for deploying and scaling applications. However, cloud computing moves the application software and databases to the large data centers...

Flexible Process Graph: A Prologue

Businesses document their operational processes as process models. The common practice is to represent process models as directed graphs. The nodes of a process graph represent activities and directed edges constitute activity ordering constraints. A flexible process graph modeling approach proposes to generalize process graph structure to a hypergraph. Obtained process structure aims at formal...

Prologue Introduction to Coarse Grained Simulation

Mixing of materials by small scale turbulent motion is a critical element of many flow systems of interest in engineering, geophysics, and astrophysics. Numerical simulation plays a crucial role and turbulent mixing predictability is a major concern. Small scale resolution requirements focus typically on those of continuum fluid mechanics described by Navier–Stokes (NS) equations; different req...
