Client-server architecture for collaborative remote experimentation
Callaghan M., Harkin J., McColgan E., McGinnity T., Maguire L. Journal of Network and Computer Applications 30(4): 1295-1308, 2007. Type: Article
In 1948, a patent (No. 2,448,908) was granted to Louis W. Parker for a low-cost television receiver. It was the same year one million homes in the US had television sets. The impact of the new technology was expected to be significant:...

A grid-enabled distributed branch-and-bound algorithm with application on the Steiner problem in graphs
Drummond L., Uchoa E., Gonçalves A., Silva J., Santos M., de Castro M. Parallel Computing 32(9): 629-642, 2006. Type: Article
Optimization problems using branch-and-bound are always intriguing. Determining the minimum or maximum bounds, the feasible region, and then performing the branching makes problem solving worthwhile to observe, not only to find the sol...
