Heterogeneity has been considered in scheduling, but without taking into account the temporal variation of completion times of the sub-tasks for a divisible, independent task. In ...
The integration of clusters of computers into computational grids has recently gained the attention of many computational scientists. While considerable progress has been made in ...

Pfair scheduling, currently the only known way of optimally scheduling recurrent real-time tasks on multiprocessors, imposes certain requirements that may limit its practical impl...
In a grid computing environment, resources are autonomous, wide-area distributed, and what’s more, they are usually not free. These unique characteristics make scheduling in a s...
In parallel and distributed processing, tasks are ordinarily clustered and assigned to different processors or machines before they are scheduled. The assignment of tasks to proc...
