Many programming languages, including Java, provide support for concurrency. Although concurrency has many benefits with respect to performance, concurrent software can be problematic to develop and test because of the many different thread interleavings.

Multi criterion Decision Making (MCDM) methods are widely applied in many domains for finding rank based on the available conflicting nature of the criteria and to choose the best alternative. MCDM methods comprise of complex mathematical calculations which required time to solve, especially, when number of criteria and alternatives are more. In order to automate the process software is require...

The Grid has the potential to grow significantly over the course of the next decade and therefore the mechanisms that make the Grid possible need to become more efficient in order for the Grid to scale. One of these mechanisms revolves around resource management; ultimately, there will be so many resources in the Grid, that if they are not managed properly, only a very small fraction of those r...
