To make the most effective application placement decisions on volatile large-scale heterogeneous Grids, schedulers must consider factors such as resource speed, load, and reliabil...
—This paper deals with the problem of scheduling workflow applications with Quality of Service (QoS) constraints, comprising real-time and interactivity constraints, over a servi...
Standards for distribution middleware sometimes impose restrictions and often allow the implementations to decide on aspects that are fundamental to the correct and efficient behav...
Divisible load applications consist of a load, that is input data and associated computation, that can be divided arbitrarily into independent pieces. Such applications arise in m...
We consider the problem of bulk data transfers and bandwidth sharing in the context of grid infrastructures. Grid computing empowers high-performance computing in a large-scale di...
