In order to enhance multicast communication, it is important to investigate effects of network coding which can be a typical application of active network. In this paper, we study the feasibility of network coding based multicast architecture from performance aspect. We first show that the network coding based multicast has not only high transmission capacity with the max-flow, which is an orig...

This study presents a new algorithm based on ant colony optimization for load balancing management in grid computing. The concentration is on improving the way ants search the best resources in terms of minimizing the processing time of each job and at the same time balancing the workload on available resources. An enhanced technique is proposed for the pheromone update activities. Single colon...
