Cloud Computing provides access to a shared pool of computing resources such as servers, storage, computer networks and services, which can be rapidly provisioned and released, for the execution of various scientific and business applications. Scheduling scientific workflows modeled by Directed Acyclic Graphs is an NP complete problem. In cloud environment, there are fluctuations in resource av...

To describe plant phenological patterns and correlate functioning for the quantity and quality of resources available for the pollinator, it is crucial to understand the temporal dynamics of biological communities. In this way, the pollination syndromes of 46 species with different growth habits (trees, shrubs, herbs, and vines) were examined in an area of Caatinga vegetation, northeastern Braz...

On-line connection provisioning with availability guarantees has to meet the double challenge of assigning resources to connections sparingly and ensuring that connection availability remains above a certain threshold. After having selected an appropriate protection scheme the first aim is achieved primarily by means of sharing backup resources, while the second aim calls for well-conceived res...
