We define some interesting incentive issues that arise in the management of virtual infrastructures. We demonstrate that participants’ decisions about the quantities of infrast...
—This paper describes a study of predicting machine availabilities and user presence in a pool of desktop computers. The study is based on historical traces collected from 32 mac...
The Grid promise is starting to materialize today: largescale multi-site infrastructures have grown to assist the work of scientists from all around the world. This tremendous gro...
—In this paper, we address the problem of finding well-performing workload exchange policies for decentralized Computational Grids using an Evolutionary Fuzzy System. To this end...
The notion of lambda-Grids posits plentiful collections of computing and storage resources richly interconnected by dedicated dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical...
