Experimental performance studies on computer systems, including Grids, require deep understandings on their workload characteristics. The need arises from two important and closel...
Conventional performance evaluation mechanisms focus on dedicated systems. Grid computing infrastructure, on the other hand, is a shared collaborative environment constructed on v...
—Due to the dynamic nature of grid environments, schedule algorithms always need assistance of a long-time-ahead load prediction to make decisions on how to use grid resources ef...

The simulation of large grids requires the generation of grid instances and an approximation of grid components’ behaviour. To generate grid instances, this paper outlines a set...
