Grids are gaining more importance in this era of Internet technology to maximize the use of resources such as hardware and software infrastructure. The grid provides a platform to share information across the Net. Any application on the grid should be able to share available resources concurrently. In this paper, we present a grid framework for an optimistic resource sharing, which consists of ...

We present Mesos, a platform for sharing commodity clusters between multiple diverse cluster computing frameworks, such as Hadoop and MPI 1. Sharing improves cluster utilization and avoids per-framework data replication. Mesos shares resources in a fine-grained manner, allowing frameworks to achieve data locality by taking turns reading data stored on each machine. To support the sophisticated ...

Grid technologies enable the sharing of a wide variety of distributed resources. To utilize these resources, effective Resource Management systems are needed. Resource Management system performs resource discovery to obtain information about the available resources. However, the complex and dynamic nature of grid resources make sharing and discovery, a challenging issue. Resource Discovery is i...

The two fundamental aims of managing educational resources are to enable resources to be reusable and interoperable and to enable Web-scale sharing of resources across learning communities. Currently, a variety of approaches have been proposed to expose and manage educational resources and their metadata on the Web. These are usually based on heterogeneous metadata standards and schemas, such a...

Sharing is a fascinating activity of the human species and an important basis for the development of fairness, care, and cooperation in human social interaction. Economic research has proposed that sharing, or the willingness to sacrifice own resources for others, has its roots in social emotions such as sympathy. However, only few cross-sectional experiments have investigated children's other-...

In Cloud computing, private cloud is a model where resource sharing is becoming more popular now-a-days. The importance of resource sharing has lead to the development of many algorithms. The existing works in the field of resource sharing used many optimization techniques. The two techniques namely Service Composition Optimal Selection (SCOS) and Optimal Allocation of Computing Resources (OACR...

This paper presents a new model for organizing learning resources: Learning Cell. This model is open, evolving, cohesive, social, and context-aware. By introducing a time dimension into the organization of learning resources, Learning Cell supports the dynamic evolution of learning resources while they are being used. In addition, by introducing a semantic gene (knowledge ontology) into the mod...

In this paper, a method of extracting rules with immune algorithms from information systems is proposed. Designing an immune algorithm is based on a sharing mechanism to extract rules. The principle of sharing and competing resources in the sharing mechanism is consistent with the relationship of sharing and rivalry among rules. In order to extract rules efficiently, a new concept of flexible c...

Randomness is a useful computation resource due to its ability to enhance the capabilities of other resources. Its interaction with resources such as time, space, interaction with provers and its role in several areas of computer science has been extensively studied. In this paper we give a systematic analysis of the amount of randomness needed by secret sharing schemes and secure key distribut...

This paper aims at describing the recent activities within the European Language Resources Association (ELRA) on issues covering its main missions: making available Language Resources and providing Human Language Technologies Evaluation packages.
