In the dynamic load balancing problem, we seek to keep the job load roughly evenly distributed among the processors of a given network. The arrival and departure of jobs is modeled...
We consider a dynamic load balancing scenario in which users allocate resources in a non-cooperative and selfish fashion. The perceived performance of a resource for a user decre...

Load balance is a critical issue in distributed systems, such as server grids. In this paper, we propose a Balanced Load Queue (BLQ) model, which combines the queuing theory and hy...
—MapReduce has emerged as a popular tool for distributed and scalable processing of massive data sets and is increasingly being used in e-science applications. Unfortunately, the...

This article introduces a new load balancing algorithm, called diffusive load balancing, and compares its performance with three other load balancing algorithms: static, round rob...
