While modern parallel computing systems offer high performance, utilizing these powerful computing resources to the highest possible extent demands advanced knowledge of various hardware architectures and parallel programming models. Furthermore, ...

Network virtualization is widely considered as a mainstay for overcoming the Internet's ossification problem, and virtual network embedding (VNE) is a critical issue. Over recent years, growing energy costs and increased ecological awareness have ...

Physarum polycephalum is an amoeba-like organism and is able to find the shortest path in a labyrinth. Inspired by P. polycephalum, recently, a mathematical model and an algorithm (Physarum Solver) was developed. There are, however, only sequential ...

We analyzed the performance of a multi-node OpenStack cloud amid different types of controlled and self-induced network errors between controller and compute-nodes on the control plane network. These errors included limited bandwidth, delays and packet ...

Efficient scheduling is critical for achieving improved performance of distributed applications where an application is to be considered as a group of interrelated tasks and represented by a task graph. In this work, we present a clustering-based ...

As a special kind of public-key encryption, attribute-based encryption (ABE) is able to achieve fine-grained access control mechanism by offering one-to-many encryption. Due to such unique characteristic, this primitive is widely employed in the cloud ...

Wireless networks' applications are increasing gradually necessitating their performance to enhance. Evolution of these networks over time indicates the need for algorithms which can operate based on their dynamic nature. Wireless mesh networks provide ...

Thinning algorithms have been widely applied in many applications such as computer graphics, computer vision and medical imaging. The performances of thinning algorithms are hampered by the increase of image's size and image's content. By employing ...

Devices in Internet of Things (IoT) often offer services that allow tenants to access data of different metrics collected from sensors. These sensors can be built-in or remotely connected to such devices. Given that such monitoring services are usually ...

In recent years, notable number of research studies have been conducted on the analysis of diffusion process in complex networks. One fundamental problem in this domain is to find the most influential spreader nodes. For achieving a successful spreading ...

This study elucidates the dynamic behaviour of the two competing mutually exclusive epidemic (meme) spreading model with the alert of memes over multiplex social networks. Each meme spreads over a distinct contact networks $$(CN_1,CN_2)$$(CN1,CN2) of an ...

Current developments in information and electronic technologies have pushed a tremendous amount of applications to meet the demands of personal computing services. Various kinds of smart devices have been launched and applied in our daily lives to ...
