In this paper we define the Weak Mutual Exclusion (WME) problem. Analogously to classical Distributed Mutual Exclusion (DME), WME serializes the accesses to a shared resource. Di...
Mutual exclusion is used to coordinate access to shared resources by concurrent processes. k-Exclusion is a variant of mutual exclusion in which up to k processes can simultaneous...
A new methodology is presented in this paper for resource management in a metacomputing environment using a hierarchy of homogeneous agents that has the capability of service disco...
Very large scale computations are now becoming routinely used as a methodology to undertake scientific research. In this context, ‘provenance systems’ are regarded as the equ...

Real-time resource scheduling is an important factor for improving the performance of cluster computing. In many distributed and parallel processing systems, particularly real-tim...
