Transparent topology is common in many mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs) such as vehicle (VANETs), unmanned aerial (UAV) networks, and wireless sensor due to their decentralization mobility nature. There are existing works on distributed scheduling scheme design for topology-transparent MANETs. Most of them focus delay-unconstrained settings. However, with the proliferation real-time applications...

In a large multi-hop wireless network, nodes are preferable to make distributed link-scheduling decisions with information exchange only among a small number of neighbors. However, for a slowly-decaying channel and densely-populated interfering nodes, a small size neighborhood often results in nontrivial link outages and is thus insufficient for making optimal scheduling decisions. A question a...

Opportunistic scheduling and routing can in principle greatly increase the throughput of decentralized wireless networks, but to be practical such algorithms must do so with small amounts of timely side information. In this paper, we propose three related techniques for low-overhead distributed opportunistic scheduling (DOS) and precisely determine their affect on the overall network outage pro...

High quality of security is increasingly critical for applications running on heterogeneous distributed systems, where processors operate at different speeds and communication channels have different bandwidths. Although there are a few scheduling algorithms in the literature for heterogeneous distributed systems, they generally do not take into account of security requirements of applications....

cloud computing refers to services that run in a distributed network and are accessible through common internet protocols. it merges a lot of physical resources and offers them to users as services according to service level agreement. therefore, resource management alongside with task scheduling has direct influence on cloud networks’ performance and efficiency. presenting a proper scheduling ...

In general, distributed scheduling problem focuses on simultaneously solving two issues: (i) allocation of jobs to suitable factories and (ii) determination of the corresponding production scheduling in each factory. The objective of this approach is to maximize the system efficiency by finding an optimal planning for a better collaboration among various processes. This makes distributed schedu...
