In heterogeneous distributed systems, such as Grids, a resource broker is responsible of automatically selecting resources, and mapping application tasks to them. A crucial aspect...
The existence of good probabilistic models for the job arrival process and the delay components introduced at the different stages of job processing in a Grid environment is impor...
Deployment of distributed applications on large systems, and especially on grid infrastructures, becomes a more and more complex task. Grid users spend a lot of time to prepare, in...
Grid computing is moving into two ways. The Computational Grid focuses on reducing execution time of applications that require a great number of computer processing cycles. The Da...
The GridBASE framework for database-driven grid computing is presented. The design and a prototype implementation of the framework is discussed. Industry-strength database technol...
