We evaluate the average-case performance of three approximation algorithms for online non-clairvoyant scheduling of parallel tasks with precedence constraints. We show that for a ...
We consider the problem of scheduling dynamically arriving jobs in a non-clairvoyant setting, that is, when the size of a job in remains unknown until the job finishes execution. ...
Scheduling divisible loads in distributed systems is the subject of Divisible Load Theory (DLT). In this paper we show that coalitional game theory is a natural fit for modeling ...
We study two problems directly resulting from organizational decentralization of the Grid. Firstly, the problem of fair scheduling in systems in which the grid scheduler has compl...
We prove NP-hardness of pure Nash equilibrium for some problems of scheduling games and connection games. The technique is standard: first, we construct a gadget without the desir...
