Performance Evaluation of Scheduling Policies for Volunteer Computing
BOINC, a middleware system for volunteer computing, allows hosts to be attached to multiple projects. Each host periodically requests jobs from project servers and executes the jo...

Multiple-queue backfilling scheduling with priorities and reservations for parallel systems
We describe a new, non-FCFS policy to schedule parallel jobs on systems that may be part of a computational grid. Our algorithm continuously monitors the system (i.e., the intensi...

Heuristic Selection for Stochastic Search Optimization: Modeling Solution Quality by Extreme Value Theory
The success of stochastic algorithms is often due to their ability to effectively amplify the performance of search heuristics. This is certainly the case with stochastic sampling ...
