Job scheduling is one of the major challenges in Grid computing systems to efficiently exploit the capabilities of dynamic, autonomous, heterogeneous and distributed resources for execution of different types of jobs. Thus optimal job scheduling is an NP-complete problem which can easily be...

Computational Grid has been employed for solving complex and large computation-intensive problems with the help of geographically distributed, heterogeneous and dynamic resources. Job scheduling is a vital and challenging function of a computational Grid system. Job scheduler has to deal with...

Grid computing has been used as a new paradigm for solving large and complex scientific problems using resource sharing mechanism through many distributed administrative domains. One of the most challenging issues in computational Grid is efficient scheduling of jobs, because of distributed...

In this study the over-enhancement problem of traditional Histogram-Equalization (HE) has been removed to some extent by a variant of HE called Range Optimized Entropy based Bi-Histogram Equalization (ROEBHE). In ROEBHE image histogram has been thresholded into two sub-histograms i.e. histograms...

This paper is organized into two main parts. In the first part, two methods have been discussed to preserve the original brightness of the image which are Parameterized transformation function and a novel variant of modified Histogram Equalization (HE) method. In this study both methods have...

This paper proposes the bacterial foraging meta-heuristic algorithm for multiobjective optimization. In this multiobjective bacterial foraging optimization technique, the most recent bacterial locations are obtained by chemotaxis process. Next, Fuzzy dominance based sorting procedure is used...

The present study examines the status of availability of the type of houses and some important household amenities in Nagaland. The study also undertakes a comparative analysis of various issues with respect to the country as a whole, for a better understanding of the problems. The study shows...
