Grid Workflows are emerging as practical programming models for solving large e-scientific problems on the Grid. However, it is typically assumed that the workflow components eith...
This paper considers the problem of transforming a resource feasible, fixed-times schedule into a partial order schedule (POS) to enhance its robustness and stability properties. ...

This work concentrates on the design of a system intended for study of advanced scheduling techniques for planning various types of jobs in a Grid environment. The solution is able...
The Model Checking Integrated Planning System (MIPS) has shown distinguished performance in the second and third international planning competitions. With its object-oriented fram...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
