Computational Grids are large scale computing system composed of geographically distributed resources (computers, storage etc.) owned by self interested agents or organizations. T...
This paper presents three contributions to research on middleware load balancing. First, it describes the design of Cygnus, which is an extensible open-source middleware framework...

We study randomized algorithms for placing a sequence of n nodes on a circle with unit perimeter. Nodes divide the circle into disjoint arcs. We desire that a newly-arrived node (...
Abstract—We present LeWI: a novel load balancing algorithm, that can balance applications with very different patterns of imbalance. Our algorithm can balance fine grain imbalan...
The Information Power Grid (IPG) concept developed by NASA is aimed to provide a metacomputing platform for large-scale distributed computations, by hiding the intricacies of a hig...
