—The ever increasing scale and complexity of large computational systems ask for sophisticated management tools, paving the way toward Autonomic Computing. A first step toward A...
Abstract. Cloud computing platforms provide scalability and high availability properties for web applications but they sacrifice data consistency at the same time. However, many a...
Grid workflow can be defined as the composition of grid application services which execute on heterogeneous and distributed resources in a well-defined order to accomplish a speci...
This paper presents the definition as well as a number of methods for the solution of a new combinatorial optimization problem, called S-MAMP that has to be solved for the efficie...
