A growing trend in the development and deployment of grid computing systems is decentralization. Decentralizing these systems helps make them more scalable and robust, but poses s...
- Load balancing is a crucial issue in parallel and distributed systems to ensure fast processing and optimum utilization of computing resources. Load balancing strategies try to e...
Federated distributed systems present new challenges to resource management, which cannot be met by conventional systems that employ relatively static resource models and centrali...
Existing task allocation algorithms generally do not consider the effects of task interaction, such as interference, but instead assume that tasks are independent. That assumptio...
Nowadays, systems often integrate a variety of applications whose service requirements are heterogeneous. Consequently, systems must be able to concurrently serve applications whi...
