Dynamic adaptation has become an important issue when designing and developing distributed applications in order to manage their Quality of Service (QoS). This is especially challenging when distributed applications run in environments in which resources vary unpredictably over time. To deal with fluctuations in resource availability and inherent heterogeneity of distributed environments requir...

With the fast development of high-speed railway (HSR), the demand for mobile communication on high-speed trains is increasingly growing. This leads to significant attention on the study of resource management in HSR wireless communications with limited bandwidth. Resource management is a challenging problem due to heterogenous quality of service (QoS) requirements and dynamic characteristics of...

As systems scale towards exascale, many resources will become increasingly constrained. While some of these resources have historically been explicitly allocated, many, like network bandwidth, I/O bandwidth, or power, have not. As systems continue to evolve, we expect many such resources to become explicitly managed. This change will pose critical challenges to resource management and job sched...

A situation-aware middleware provides standardized communication protocols to interoperate an application with others under dynamically changing situations. Since the application needs of middleware services and computing environment (resources) keep changing as the application change, it is difficult to analyze: 1) whether it is possible that all Quality of Service (QoS) requirements are met, ...
