Distributed execution of workflow by Khademi Hedayat, Maryam

“…The focus of this project is on three areas: workflow partitioning, enactment and data movement. The main reasons which led us to this selection are: (i) there is few existing work on partitioning workflow, specially as a means of accelerating workflow execution; (ii) several systems have been developed using three main enactment models (i.e., centralized, hierarchical, and distributed models), but most of them focus on centralized execution control while the existing hierarchical and distributed models still have problems such as high overhead in communication amongst the distributed parties; and (iii) data movement mechanisms are divided into: centralized, mediated, and peer-to-peer models. …”

Bit-error rate simulation for frequency-hopped multiple-access systems over fading channels by Le, Thi Ngoc Anh.

“…In this report, bit-error-rate (BER) performance of a fast frequency-hopped binary frequency-shift-keying (FFH/BFSK) system using diversity-combining over multiple-access interference (MAI), partial-band jamming (PBJ), additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and fading channels is presented. Five diversity-combining methods utilized in BER simulation to counter MAI and PBJ effects are square-law linear combining, product combining, hard-decision majority-vote (HDMV), self-normalizing and clipper receivers.…”
