In this paper a novel job allocation scheme in distributed systems (TAG) is modelled using the Markovian process algebra PEPA. This scheme requires no prior knowledge of job size ...
We develop a multi-objective model for the resource allocation problem in a dynamic PERT network, where the activity durations are exponentially distributed random variables and t...
In this paper we consider the following scenario. A set of n jobs with different threads is being run concurrently. Each job has an associated weight, which gives the proportion ...

Size-based policies have been known to successfully balance load and improve performance in homogeneous cluster environments where a dispatcher assigns a job to a server strictly ...
In this paper, we present an Open Grid Services Architecture (OGSA)-based decentralized allocation enforcement system, developed with an emphasis on a consistent data model and ea...
