This paper focuses on two components of idle time and waiting time, namely core idle
time,∑ CIT i, and core waiting time,∑ CWT j. Both measures are relevant indicators of the …

This paper proposes a new multi-robot coordinated exploration algorithm that applies a
global optimization strategy based on K-Means clustering to guarantee a balanced and …

Waiting time and idle time are among the main cost sources in production systems. They can
also affect the feasibility of operations from a technological perspective; hence, both such …

While much of the research on transaction processing has focused on improving overall
performance in terms of throughput and mean latency, surprisingly less attention has been …

Cloud computing is computing in which large groups of remote servers are networked to
allow centralized data storage and on-line access to computer services. Cloud computing …

This paper reviews the state of the art in coordinated multi-robot exploration and proposes a
new exploration objective based on a practical scenery, reducing the difference of waiting …

Wafer quality issues are becoming essential concerns in semiconductor manufacturing
industry. It is becoming increasingly important for fab managers to raise the wafer quality …

Job scheduling problem is a core and challenging issue in cloud computing. It is impossible
to predict the job execution time in cloud environment. Hence the scheduler must be …

Cloud computing offers elastic features to alleviate the challenges of web crawling. Building
crawlers in a scalable fashion has become highly needed. This paper proposes a new …

The web search is a rich and wide topic of research. Web crawlers are the key and initiative
