Static scheduling of a program represented by a directed task graph on a multiprocessor
system to minimize the program completion time is a well-known problem in parallel processing…

In the past three decades, we have witnessed the phenomenal growth in the trading of
financial derivatives and structured products in the financial markets around the globe and the …

In this paper, we propose a static scheduling algorithm for allocating task graphs to fully
connected multiprocessors. We discuss six recently reported scheduling algorithms and show …

Internet commerce and online commodity exchanges suffer from distrust among sellers and
buyers, who are often strangers to each other. The authors present a new P2P reputation …

The problem of scheduling a parallel program represented by a weighted directed acyclic
graph (DAG) to a set of homogeneous processors for minimizing the completion time of the …

Hong Kong in 1991, and the MPhil and PhD degrees in computer science from the Hong Kong …

The principal tidal constituents M 2 , S 2 , K 1 and O 1 in the South China Sea, Gulf of Tonkin
and Gulf of Thailand are simulated simultaneously using the numerical scheme of Kwok et …

Emerging studies document the roles of long non-coding RNAs (LncRNAs) in regulating
gene expression at chromatin level but relatively less is known how they regulate DNA …
