β¦ Synopsis
In this paper we survey recent results and problems of both theoretical and algorithmic character on the construction of snarks-non-trivial cubic graphs of class two, of cyclic edge-connectivity at least 4 and with girth β₯ 5. We next study the process, also considered by Cameron, Chetwynd, Watkins, Isaacs, Nedela, and Ε koviera, of splitting a snark into smaller snarks which compose it. This motivates an attempt to classify snarks by recognizing irreducible and prime snarks and proving that all snarks can be constructed from them. As a consequence of these splitting operations, it follows that any snark (other than the Petersen graph) of order β€ 26 can be built as either a dot product or a square product of two smaller snarks. Using a new computer algorithm we have confirmed the computations of Brinkmann and Steffen on the classification of all snarks of order less than 30. Our

## Abstract Some of the early questions concerning the maximum genus of a graph have now been answered. In this paper we survey the progress made on such problems and present some recent results, outlining proofs for some of the major theorems.
## Abstract In Grid computing environments, the availability, performance, and state of resources, applications, services, and data undergo continuous changes during the life cycle of an application. Uncertainty is a fact in Grid environments, which is triggered by multiple factors, including: (1)
