Emerging multimedia applications demand faster and more flexible digital video coding. While hardware-based implementations are usually fast, the flexibility offered by software and the growing speed of general-purpose processors make software solutions promising alternatives. H…
Academic interest in production planning and scheduling problems has surged significantly in the last decade. This is primarily a result of increasing competitive pressure on companies in the chemical process industry to remain profitable in a global marketplace by improving pro…
Clusters of message-passing computing nodes provide high-performance platforms for distributed applications. Cost-effective implementations of such systems are based on commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software components. One trend in the deployment of such systems …

This book is the first to present the state of the art and provide technical focus on the latest advances in the foundations of blockchain systems. It is a collaborative work between specialists in cryptography, distributed systems, formal languages, and economics, and addresses…
In this thesis we look into usability in the context of smartphone applications. We selected three research areas to investigate, namely Wireless Personal Area Networks, Context-awareness, and Remote Information Access. These areas are investigated through a series of experiment…
The Grid has been recognised as the next-generation distributed computing paradigm by seamlessly integrating heterogeneous resources across administrative domains as a single virtual system. There are an increasing number of scientific and business projects that employ Grid comp…
